Change a Profile Setting with iRules

Hi Marco,

I would guess that you cannot change the setting using PROFILE:: commands as the PROFILE::http wiki page states you can get (not set) the values. Maybe someone else can clarify this?

There is an existing CR requesting that F5 document the PROFILE:: commands (CR74323). Perhaps you could open a support case with F5 and ask for details on your question and have them attach your case to the CR. It would help raise the visibility of the request.

Also, depending on what you're actually trying to accomplish, you might be able to do it using the HTTP:: commands (Click here). Response chunking would either be enabled or disabled. If you want to prevent the server from sending a chunked response, you could set the HTTP version to 1.0 instead of 1.1:

http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/CreditCardScrubber.html

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    Don't allow data to be chunked 
   if { [HTTP::version] eq "1.1" } { 
       if { [HTTP::header is_keepalive] } { 
          HTTP::header replace "Connection" "Keep-Alive" 
       } 
       HTTP::version "1.0" 
    } 
 } 
 

Thanks,

Aaron
