corrupted data

Hello team

 

one of our application deployed the below manner.

 

User > F5 LB > Apache Reverse Proxy > application server

 

the application server sending response with "Content-Encoding: gzip" but unable to decompress date at the client end or user end due to the data corruption. we took the captures from app server and we are able to see the compressed content . sll offloaded on LB and app/rp running on non ssl Is there any way from f5 to protect these kind data loss or corruption Is there any way in F5 to protect these kind data.

    Hi Mike,

     

    try to attach a "HTTP Compression Profile" (e.g. the default one) to your Virtual Server.

     

    This will remove the "Accept-Encoding" header from the forwarded HTTP request, so that the apache/application server believes that the client does not support HTTP compression. When the HTTP response is then passes to your F5, the content will be compressed according to the detailed profile settings.

     

    Cheers, Kai
