why do connections stop working when http profile is added to virtual server
Hello I found this description that has a nice diagram and explanation https://devcentral.f5.com/questions/requests-are-not-being-passed-from-virtual-server-to-the-pool-member
but at the end it concludes that the traffic that stopped working was not likely http traffic. We had a situation where we have 2 virtual servers listening on ports 80 and 443 and pointing to back end servers listening on ports 80 and 443 respectively. No ssl profiles and no irules and no http profile. We temporarily added an maintenance page irule that required a http profile so we used the f5 default. We removed the irule but forgot to set the http profile back to none and traffic would not go through. Could someone please explain why leaving the http profile in place would block traffic from getting through.
