NimbostratusNginx pool with gzip compression loadbalanced by F5
Hi there !
I would like to do a simple thing:
serve gziped content to browsers.
I have a pool of static content served by nginx with compression included.
This pool is behind a F5 Vip.

EmployeeNot tricky at all. In the absence of any configured compression functions on the F5, it'll simply pass the HTTP payload as is, which could definitely be compressed. Of course if you want to do anything with that HTTP content (ie. payload manipulation), you'd need it uncompressed from the server, but otherwise nothing is required for this to work.
