Use the HTTP HOST Request for the Port Number

If you have applications that perform load balancing by redirecting traffic to specific web servers without modifying the actual HTTP headers, you should configure the Web Agent to redirect users back to the proper external port (instead of the port used by the load balancer) with the following parameter:

• GetPortFromHeaders

  Directs the Web Agent to obtain the port number from the HTTP HOST request header instead of obtaining it from the web server service structures.

  Default: No

  Note: This parameter is required for Apache Web Agents.

To use the port number in the HTTP HOST request header, set the GetPortFromHeaders parameter to yes.
