Aug 02, 2011Virtual server: impact of http profile
hi, i'd like to know more about the impact of the http profile on connections. We have a virtual server setup to laod balance to MySQL servers - when we apply the http profile to our SQL VIP it seems to 'break' the connection. Once the http profile is removed the F5 forwards traffic to the servers as needed. I am wondering then if the http profile under a vip rewrites the connection in anyway or is it just there to tell the F5 to 'look' into the http header?
thanks!

HTTP profile makes BIG-IP turn on its HTTP proxy, and it will try to make sure that traffic conforms to HTTP spec. If it does not, then it will stop processing, which is what is happening on your virtual server. I would not enable HTTP profile anything but HTTP traffic virtual server. - Hi mhuss3y,

i don't know much about mysql. anyway, i don't think the mysql virtual server handles http request. as johns mentiones, it will break connection.
