Disable keepalives
This may or may not be an iRule question, but how can I disable keepalives for a VIP? Will setting "Maximum Requests" to "1" do the trick? Or will disabling "Pipelining" ? Or will I need an iRule? Any help is appreciated.
- Leo_Katona_5507NimbostratusUsing keepalives mean that more than one request can be sent through the same connection, so yes, setting Maximum Requests in the HTTP profile to 1 will effectively prevent clients from using keepalives. I'm not sure why you would want to do that in the load balancer, though, since all typical HTTP servers have an option to disable them too. That would be neater since the load balancer wouldn't need to touch the requests or responses at all.
- Colin_Walker_12Historic F5 AccountThe above comments are accurate. It leads me to the question of why you want to do this? What is it you're trying to accomplish?
