tmsh syntax to add json to compression profile

I am trying to add "application/json" to a compression file. I can't figure out the correct syntax and a search doesn't get me anything. It's probably something simple but I am very weak when it comes to this. I am guessing based on the existing profile but no matter what I do I get syntax errors.

 

Existing profile that is working. ltm profile http-compression Http_compression-compression { app-service none content-type-exclude { .\.pdf .\.gif .\.bmp oriongeocodemanager.asmx .\.jpg } content-type-include { text/ "application/(xml|x-javascript)" text/.* .\.css .\.js tc } defaults-from httpcompression }

 

Modification which fails tmsh modify ltm profile http-compression Http_compression-compression content-type-include { text/ "application/(xml|x-javascript)" text/ "application/json" text/.* .\.css .\.js .\.png .\.htc }

 

Syntax Error: "{" unexpected argument

    I made a little headway but might have messed up my existing profile. I used the following syntax:

    tmsh modify ltm profile http-compression Http_compression-compression c ontent-type-include add { text/ "application/(xml|x-javascript)" application/json text/.* .\.css .\.js .\. png .\.htc }

    Now my profile looks like this:

    ltm profile http-compression Http_compression-compression { app-service none content-type-exclude { .\.pdf .\.gif .\.bmp oriongeocodemanager.asmx .\.jpg } content-type-include { text/ "application/(xml|x-javascript)" text/. .\.css .\.js .\.png .*\.htc "(\?glob)application/(xml" | "(\?glob)x-javascript)" application/json ..css ..js ..png ..htc } defaults-from httpcompression

    I don't know what "(\?glob)application/(xml" | "(\?glob)x-javascript)" means.

    I removed all content-type-include parameters by using the below: tmsh modify ltm profile http-compression Http_compression-compression content-type-include none

     

    Now when I try to rebuild to the original config, I still get: content-type-include { text/ "(\?glob)application/(xml" | "(\?glob)x-javascript)" text/.* ..css ..js ..png ..htc }

     

    Did I corrupt the entire profile?
