BIGIP Cookie Decoder allows you to view the IP address and the port of the host that is actually handling your connection. This can be used to help administrators in debugging scenarios.

This extension reverse the algorithm used by the F5 load balancer in order to expose the IP address and the TCP port of the host that is handling your connection.

It was made to help administrators in debugging situations, and it requires the F5 BigIP device.

In order to use this extension, first configure your load balancer with a non-encrypted cookie in the F5 SSL/TLS config to allow the request to flow to the domain that is actually handling the connection.
