Chris, I think the only time you need to call HTTP::release is if you've called HTTP::collect with no amount of bytes to collect specified. The only time I've needed to do this is to halt a connection until a sideband request is made to either DNS or an auth server.

 

 

Puli, as suggested above, HTTP::release shouldn't be necessary if you've specified the collection amount in HTTP::collect. Please do report back with what you find on resource utilization with the iRule. If you can also confirm the version of code and platform you're using it would help.
