CirrostratusHi Jim,
Disabling the HTTP filter will not modify the TCP payload in any way. It just stops LTM from parsing the TCP payload as HTTP and logically breaking out the HTTP into headers and a payload. I would guess it might be more efficient to strip the HTTP payload out of the TCP packet. You could look for a \r\n\r\n which should delineate the HTTP headers and payload.
I'm not sure whether you could remove the HTTP headers if you've already parsed the request as HTTP.
Anyone else have ideas on this?
