I am trying to get X-MSISDN passing in the HTTP header to work when a HTTPS (secure SSL) page is requested from a WAP 2 mobile.

Is this possible, like in a normal HTTP request (tested this and it works)?

Hi Andre,

I know we already discussed this via e-mail. But I wanted to post a follow-up explanation out here as well.

It is not technically possible to insert an X-MSISDN header in an HTTPS request that is proxied via HTTP/WAP2. The reason for this is because there is end-to-end security on the connection. In this scenario, the proxy cannot view or modify the data that is being transacted.
