de-compressing serverside content?
hi all,
i´m trying to use compression on the serverside instead of the clientside:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
HTTP::header insert Accept-Encoding gzip
COMPRESS::enable
}
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
COMPRESS::disable
HTTP::release
}
a compression-profile with the "selective" mode was assigned to the virtual on 9.4.3hf3.
but the client still receives compressed content.
the big-ip does not de-compress the object and delivers the compressed content to the client.
compression headers in the responses are kept.
is the big-ip capable to uncompress the content?
i.e.:
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
COMPRESS::uncompress
}
thanks in advance,
stephan
ps: reason for asking this uncommon question is a customer, who wants to use a big-ip as a kind of local proxy for accessing remote ressources.
his clients dont support compression.
next thing i´m going to try is wam of course :-)
