AltostratusWe have a VIP that hosts different applications on different path-elements, like .. and so on.
I would like to enable http compression only on /app1/* requests, but setting /app1/* in the URI include list for the http compression profile does not result in compresssion on such requests. If I change it to /* I do get compression, but obviously for all requests regardless of URI.
What is the proper syntax here?
CirrostratusHello Mandragor,
Based on this article https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K15434
You have two options :
you want to manage the compression from an irule ---> then you must "check" the option "Selective Compression" from your HTTP Compression profile.
you want to manage it directly from the profile ---> then you keep the "Selective Compression" as it is (by default unchecked)
If you go with first option try this irule :
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [string tolower [HTTP::path]] starts_with "/app1/" } {
COMPRESS::enable
} elseif { [string tolower [HTTP::path]] starts_with "/app2/" } {
}
}
Hope it helps
Regards
