compress_content_type_includes error

Hi, our 9.3.1 BigIP has an existing HTTP profile which includes the "Insert XForwarded For" header

 

 

profile http http {

 

basic auth realm none

 

oneconnect transformations enable

 

header insert none

 

header erase none

 

fallback "http://dr.school.edu/"

 

compress selective

 

compress uri include none

 

compress uri exclude none

 

compress content type include none

}

compress enable

 

compress content type include "*"

}

 

 

I was checking why gzip does not seem to be applied by the BigIP (via YSlow firefox plugin and other web compression checkers) and found this in the ltm logs:

Does this indicate the gzip and XForwarded options are not compatible?

 

Is there a workaround for this?

 

 

thanks!
