Hi,

 

Are you using v11.4 or newer? If so, take a look at LTM Policies - these allow all sorts of flexibility to control caching and compression. Ref: https://devcentral.f5.com/articles/ltm-policy

 

The solution I'd recommend is creating a LTM policy for enabling your compression profile:

 

Strategy: Best-Match

 

 

  • Rule1 Criteria: none

     

  • Rule1 Action: "Disable"; "Compression"

     

  • Rule2 Criteria: HTTP URI Path "starts_with"; "/xyz"

     

  • Rule2 Action: "Enable"; "Compression Your-profile"

     

Note: before you can use your LTM policy, you need to assign a compression profile to your Virtual Server. Good luck :)
