Some devices can generate errors due to the X-Bluecoat-Via header. 

Some examples are listed below but are not all-inclusive.

• Network Error (tcp_error) when going to a website
• Network issue upstream due to the X-Bluecoat-Via Header
• Network Error (gateway_error)

  An error occurred attempting to communicate with an HTTP or SOCKS gateway.
  The gateway may be temporarily unavailable, or there could be a network problem.

  For assistance, contact your network support team.

• You may see the following messages in the HTTP debug log .
  • 3424.106 HTTP   Explicit HTTP INFO   H2 CW 106EC840A40                      Terminating connection with response code 504

Remove the header for a specific destination

The example below shows how to remove the header via CPL and VPM. 

This error occurs because the OCS resets GET requests where the header contains X-BlueCoat-Via. To allow access to the page, create a rule that can suppress the X-BlueCoat-Via header from the request.

Copy the following CPL into the local policy file. If help is needed to add CPL to Local Policy: https://knowledge.broadcom.com/external/article/165957/add-cpl-to-a-local-policy-file-on-the-pr.html

<Proxy>
    url.domain=//<websitename>.com/ action.Remove_X-Bluecoat-Via(yes)

define action Remove_X-Bluecoat-Via
    delete( request.header.X-BlueCoat-Via )
end

or create a VPM policy in the Web Access Layer  using the following rule:

• Destination— Request URL: websiteaddress
• Action—Control Request Header, Header Name: X-BlueCoat-Via, Supress

Remove the X-Bluecoat-Via Header from ALL traffic

Copy the following CPL into the local policy file:

<Proxy>

    action.Remove_X-Bluecoat-Via(yes)

define action Remove_X-Bluecoat-Via

    delete( request.header.X-BlueCoat-Via )

end

To create a VPM policy in the Web Access Layer with a source/destination of ANY ANY with the same action as shown above.

• Source — ANY
• Destination— ANY
• ​Action—Control Request Header, Header Name: X-BlueCoat-Via, Suppress

The X-Bluecoat-Via Header is used to keep the proxy from inspecting the traffic a second time should a loop in the network path occur.
