WARNING: THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED UNSUPPORTED AND MAY CAUSE REST TO HANG

 

You can work around this, but be aware that doing so may result in REST hanging, and require you to restart restjavad to restore REST functionality to the box. F5 Support is not likely to be particularly sympathetic if you do this and call them to determine why REST keeps hanging:

 

  1. Edit /etc/asm-config-rest.conf:
  2. Replace 5242880 with the max size allowed for REST responses.
  3. Restart restjavad process (bigstart restart restjavad)
