Prevent HTTP monitor from sending TCP RST when receive string arrives

I learned something today! I never knew that HTTP monitors may send a TCP RST as soon as they see the receive string they're watching for. See: https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/9000/800/sol9812.html

 

Unfortunately, a couple of our real servers do copious logging when that happens, and the application team would like to prevent that behavior.

 

Is there any way to cause the HTTP monitor to always read to completion the response? I don't want to keep-alive/pipeline (even if that's possible with a monitor - sounds counterintuitive) because I want each call's success/failure to be a reflection of what a new client connection would encounter.

 

thx!
