Hi,

 

 

So you'd like to have LTM send the client an HTTP response if the server doesn't respond before the idle timeout expires?

 

 

In v10 or higher, you could potentially use the after command (Click here) with a timer set just lower than the TCP profile idle timeout (retrieved using PROFILE::tcp idle_timeout Click here) to check for connections that are just about to be timed out. You could then use HTTP::respond (Click here) to send an HTTP response to the client.

 

 

I'm not sure how efficient this would be though. So try testing it on a dev unit first.
