HTTP_RESPONSE event failure

does anyone have an explanation to explain the following behavior?

 

 

 

when making an HTTP POST, the client (IE+.NET) sends the HEADERS ONLY in the first packet (without respect of content length), the

 

IIS6 server responds immediately (this occurs before the content-length number of bytes has been processed by BIG-IP) and the HTTP_RESPONSE event in the iRule isn't triggered.

    Hi Aragorn,

     

     

    The HTTP_RESPONSE event is triggered when the server response headers are parsed. As that doesn't happen with cached responses, you can use the CACHE events/commands instead.

     

     

    Can you take a look at the related wiki pages and start a new post if you have questions?
