HTTPS response headers for Cloud Load Balancer redirects

[taylortrimble]

Hi,

I posted on this issue in the bug tracker about not being able to serve HTTPS response headers from redirects in Cloud Load Balancer. However, I never heard back from Google.

Is it still not possible to do what I’m looking for? As a workaround I can stand up a server to serve my redirects and add the headers there, but that defeats the purpose of having the feature in Cloud Load Balancer.

Thank you.

Hello Taylor, custom headers are set per backend service but redirects are defined in the URL map. The order of components is: forwarding rule, target proxy, URL map, backend service. This means that no backend service is chosen to handle custom headers  when using redirects. Your observation is working as designed,  a feature request to add support for custom headers with redirects sounds like the right way to move forward.

Thank you for your guidance and quick reply! I filed my feature request here.

Have a nice day!
