Oct 18, 2005So here is the difference with a specific GET between Apache and BigIP
Apache Headers:
GET /common/meeting/shell/StamperSymbols.swf HTTP/1.0
Referer: http://conference.telept.com/common/meeting/shell/StamperSymbols.swf
x-flash-version: 7,0,55,312
User-Agent: Shockwave Flash
Host: conference.telept.com
Connection: Keep-Alive
Cookie: BREEZESESSION=breezvnisv9urvxpgh7zo
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2005 17:46:15 GMT
Server: JRun Web Server

Content-Length: 1679
Cache-Control: no-cache
Pragma: no-cache
Connection: close

BigIP Headers:

As you can see it looks like the BigIP is inserting the No-Cache headers after the connection is already closed, and apache inserts them AND THEN calls the "Connection: close"
