The F5 BIG-IP load balancer uses an encoded cookie to maintain stateful connections from the client to the server. These cookies are automatically sent in every request to the domain that set them. This allows a simple way to track each client’s server association for load balancing control.
This extension reverse the F5 algorithm used to encode the data, and exposes the IP address and TCP port of the host that is actually handling your connection.
It was made to help administrators in trobleshooting situations.
Note that non encrypted cookies are considered a security issue, and this extension will not work if your load balancer was configured to use the non reversible crypto.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
