Accept Encoding header not being removed

Products

• VMware Avi Load Balancer

Issue/Introduction

Accept Encoding header is not removed when the request is load balanced to the backend with Remove Accept Encoding knob checked under the compression settings of a HTTP profile. 

Resolution

This is just a logging issue and in the actual request that is being sent to the server, the Accept Encoding header is being correctly rewritten. The behavior can be verified through a VS level pcap.

The logging issue will be fixed in a future maintenance release.
