read a gzip response on sideband connection

Hi,

 

I am trying to create a sideband connection to query a JSON webservice. I go through an intermediate VS for NAT and TLS.

 

Everything is ok ... except that the answer is in GZIP ... and I can not read the answer in irule with the command 'rcev'. I have the characters unreadable.

 

Do you have an idea ? - decode the gzip in the irule? - decompress the gzip at the intermediate level. - another idea?

 

thank you in advance

  • Hi,

     

    I guess there is a Accept-Encoding header in the sideband connection request.

     

    if you remove this header, the server won't answer with GZIP encoded data.
