Any options to use compression without ssl offloading on VS?

Hi All, I have a standard VS sitting on top of 2 proxy servers. SSL is passthrough. I want to enable some type of compression without terminating ssl on the VS.

 

Any ideas much appreciated!

 

Thanks in advance.

    No. Without offloading SSL it can see what to compress.

    HTTP Compression assumes you have an HTTP profile on your VS. You cannot decrypt HTTPS without offloading and decrypting traffic first using SSL profiles.
