Description This article describes how to handle behavior where FortiGuard updates using a proxy fail due to a host header missing in HTTP 1.1.
Scope FortiOS v7.2, FortiOS v7.4.
Solution

Configure proxy tunneling for IPS updates.

 

config system autoupdate tunneling
    set status enable
    set address "10.10.10.50"
    set port 8080
end

 

FortiGate (global) # diagnose debug application update -1
Debug messages will be on for 30 minutes.

FortiGate (global) # diagnose debug enable

FortiGate (global) #execute update-now

FortiGate (global) # eupd_fds_load_default_server[939]-Resolve and add fds globalupdate.fortinet.net ip address failed.

SGLSFW07 (global) # upd_fds_load_default_server6[1046]-Resolve and add fds globalupdate.fortinet.net ipv6 address failed.

The converted Wireshark analysis reveals that the HTTP/1.1 Host header is absent in the FortiGuard web proxy requests.

Hypertext Transfer Protocol
CONNECT globalupdate.fortinet.net:443 HTTP/1.1\r\n
Request Method: CONNECT
Request URI: globalupdate.fortinet.net:443
Request Version: HTTP/1.1
User-agent: Fortinet/7.04\r\n
\r\n

 

The issue has been identified and fixed on FortiOS v7.4.8.
