streaming files

Has anyone seen an issue when attempting to set the content-disposition to attachment and type="application/zip" where the F5 interferes with saving the file with error message "connection with the server was reset"? If I hit the server directly and download/save the file everything works as planned. What's interesting is this appears to be similar to another error i had once where in IIS 6.0 if you have content-expiration set to expire immediately, the file would show in your temp IE files then immediately delete and IE couldn't download the file with similar error. Any help would be great. I am not that familiar with the F5 but learning. Is there a similar setting on there with content-expiration or cache causing this issue?

    Hi there,

     

     

    F5 shouldn't modify the HTTP headers or content unless it's specifically configured. If you capture a tcpdump of the response received from the server and the response sent to the client, do you see that the headers or content has been modified? If so, can you post an anonymized copy of your VIP and HTTP profile? You can list these using 'b virtual VIP_NAME list' and 'b profile HTTP_PROFILE_NAME list'.
