Jul 06, 2009Disable HTTP/1.1 using F5 load balancer
I want to use the F5 to disable HTTP/1.1 requests. I'm not sure if this is even possible, though.

Jul 06, 2009Hi,
You can disable HTTP 1.1 on the serverside using a simple iRule:
From http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/CreditCardScrubber.html
when HTTP_REQUEST {
Don't allow response data to be chunked
if { [HTTP::version] eq "1.1" } {
Force downgrade to HTTP 1.0, but still allow keep-alive connections.
Since HTTP 1.1 is keep-alive by default, and 1.0 isn't,
we need make sure the headers reflect the keep-alive status.
Check if this is a keep alive connection
if { [HTTP::header is_keepalive] } {
Replace the connection header value with "Keep-Alive"
HTTP::header replace "Connection" "Keep-Alive"
}
Set server side request version to 1.0
HTTP::version "1.0"
}
}
