F5 Ltm Asm module and google chrome problem

Hi Aaron,

 

 

Now the meta refresh F5 sends is not accepted by chrome and for example curl on console but w3m and links named console browsers works perfectly. This problem only occurs on curl and Google Chrome. I also post the simulation of problem on google chrome forums too.

 

 

Now the thing is F5s protection technic is nice. sending a meta refresh then forwards another url then the regular site but problem is its not tested well or this working technics did not tested with latest versions of chrome. cause Chrome somehow as default does not do meta refresh automatically so it stops on a null page..

 

 

If i open for example firefox while chrome stays on whitepage. firefox works then chrome starts working cause F5 accepts the client after client visit the page with a accurate browser so it undertands this as working browser.

 

 

So problem seems like on chrome but needed to fix on F5 side to send something diffent.

 

This problem alone cost us already around 100k for 3 days. Cause i am from turkei and in turkei there is religious holiday. So we are near to choose different program then F5 asm.

 

 

Even with litespeed&ha_proxy with 10g line via conn rate i can cut heavy 1 gbps 1.5 mil request per second attacks easily. But this problem breaks our hearts cause we are F5 lover. We made company sell all netscalers and get f5s but we are in trouble. We contact F5 but in turkey religious holiday so turkish vendor is in vacation too so as you can see we have alot of problems.

 

 

 

Thanks,
