stream necessay?
I want to use STREAM::expression to replace data in HTTP request
is STREAM profile needed applied in virtual server?
is stream:enable needed to set following stream::expression?
In BIG-IP 9.x - 10.x, you cannot chunk the request and the system does not alter the Content-Length header value of HTTP requests. Without the use of the chunking feature, if the size of the content is modified by the replacement action of the Stream profile, the Content-Length header contains the wrong value. Since the Content-Length header is proxied to the server before the Stream replacements are performed, there is no way to adjust the reported content length or chunk lengths. Applications are likely to fail if the length of the HTTP payload does not match the value reported by the Content-Length HTTP header (for example, if the server receives more POST data than what is reported by the header).

so this is misleading statment
by the way:we need to add a new http_response event and stream::disable to disable the feature of stream profile,right?if,yes,why?
if I don't specify http_response event,is it fine?
