    Hi Anzine321, IIRC, that is the normal browser behavior to try three times. If that arrives client-side and if the pool member is not marked down it will forward those requests server-side, so yeah, if you are not monitoring, this is why you are seeing this behavior.

      when client hit 1 time and f5 sends the same hit request 3 times to the server, the team application told to me, is it possible because we dont have check monitor and at the same time when server is not responsive and send 5xx and f5 re send to server ?

    Hi Anzine321, could you give me a little more details on what you mean by disabling http retry? Any additional details or behaviors you're seeing and want to avoid, with clientside and/or serverside context, would be helpful.

    Thanks for sharing the information with us. But I still want to know what happens by doing this as I am not getting this.

      the application team told when this occured an got double transaction, for example when the request coming at 12.00 and 12.05 got the same request,  is it possible when server not available but not down at the moment and respond to f5 5xx and f5 retry resend to the server ?
