Removing whitespace and HTML comments

i think i do not see command which is not usable in v11. is it regex issue or something else? would it be possible to post example html? so, someone may be able to help.

 

 

HTML comment scrubber using a stream profile

 

https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.HTML-comment-scrubber.ashx

Here is the code that I have in place. I believe its the regex that isn't working as nothing much happens after that.

 

 

I have also looked at the stream profile, but we already use stream profiles on some of the Virtual Servers that this will be applied to.

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if { [HTTP::version] eq "1.1" } {
      if { [HTTP::header is_keepalive] } {
         HTTP::header replace "Connection" "Keep-Alive"
         }
      HTTP::version "1.0"
      log local0. "HTTP version reset to 1.0"
  }
}
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
   Ensure all of the HTTP response is collected
  if { [HTTP::header exists "Content-Length"] } {
     set content_length [HTTP::header "Content-Length"]
  } else {
     set content_length 1000000
  }
  if { $content_length > 0 } {
     HTTP::collect $content_length
     log local0. "Content-Length: $content_length"
  }
}
when HTTP_RESPONSE_DATA {
   Find the HTML comments
  set indices [regexp -all -inline -indices {} [HTTP::payload]]
   Replace the comments with spaces in the response
  log local0. "Indices: $indices"
  foreach idx $indices {
     set start [lindex $idx 0]
     set len [expr {[lindex $idx 1] - $start + 1}]
     log local0. "Start: $start, Len: $len"
     HTTP::payload replace $start $len [string repeat " " $len]
  }
} 

 

 

Many thanks
