Mar 20, 2019Error processing HTTP request header
I'm running into an issue on my apache tomcat 8 servers when receiving traffic routed through the F5. We have enabled TLS on the application servers and have setup an SSL Server profile to send the traffic through over HTTPS. The pool is configured to send the traffic to the servers on ports 8443 and 8444. However we are getting the following error from the servers.
2019-03-20 05:26:32,938+0000 INFO org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor service - Error parsing HTTP request header
Note: further occurrences of HTTP header parsing errors will be logged at DEBUG level.

I am not certain what to look at on the F5 for how it is formatting/encrypting the traffic before it sends it onto the servers. Any advice on the direction I should take this would be very much appreciated.
