Timeout changes do not work

Hi all,

 

 

I need your help!

 

I need to control the http responses time. If the responses take longer than 1 or 2 second, depending on the requests, a timeout must 'jump'.

 

I have tried to modify idle timeout parameter in the tcp profile (300s -> 1s) and in the same conditions some times work and other not. I don´t understand.

 

I have tried to modify idle timeout with IP::idle_timeout in a irule and it doesn't work ...

 

 

Thanks.

    Hi Pepi,

     

     

    If you want to selectively change the TCP idle timeout or take some other action X seconds after the HTTP request is sent to the pool member, you might be able to use the 'after' command (Click here) in 10.0+ to take an action. I don't think there is a practical way to do this in 9.x.

    Yeah, I added the example to the wiki page:
