SUMMARY

The module bigip_profile_http lacks a parameter for configuring the "Default Connect Handling" flag.

Workarounds are:

Change the flag manually in the GUI
Run tmsh via bigip_command:

- name: "Allow connect handling"
  bigip_command:
    chdir: "/PR"
    commands: "modify /ltm profile http HTTPProxyHTTP explicit-proxy { default-connect-handling allow }"

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

As the lack of this parameter forces me to run tmsh commands directly, I consider this to be a bug rather than a feature request.

EXPECTED RESULTS

I would expect bigip_profile_http to have a parameter explicit-proxy which allows configuration of this.

Hi @nomike,

Have you tried using AS3 and Ansible Declarative collection? https://clouddocs.f5.com/products/extensions/f5-appsvcs-extension/latest/refguide/schema-reference.html#http-profile-explicit
