Content length after compression

[DP]

Hi.

Does anyone know of a way to get HTTP content length after compression has been completed?

We're running Big-IP 10.2.4 currently and the HTTP_RESPONSE event gives the uncompressed size of an object from the pool member by reading the HTTP Content-Length header.

With Big-IP 11.x there's a HTTP_RESPONSE_RELEASE event which I think would do the job but unfortunately we're not running that release.

It's for bandwidth monitoring of content types and sizes.

Cheers.

is vip-to-vip helpful? the solution is for asm but concept is same. sol9388: Using an iRule to parse post-ASM responses (9.4.x - 10.x) https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/9000/300/sol9388.html?sr=27975946

As Nitass says, until you get to v11, VIP-targeting is probably you're best bet.

 Outer VIP:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
virtual internal.vip.vs
}
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
log local0. [HTTP::header Content-Length]
}
