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 :-)
