URL rewrite (multiple)

1. With no iRule to configure the stream profile, when you add a stream profile to a VIP the filter is applied to both requests and responses regardless of the content type. I imagine there is unnecessary overhead in doing this when you only want to apply it to text responses. Also, with an iRule that calls STREAM::enable, the stream filter is left enabled for the life of the TCP connection or until STREAM::disable is called. So the idea of selectively enabling the stream filter in an iRule is to ensure the it's only enabled for text responses.

 

 

2. The ) in that line was a typo. I corrected that in the post above.
