Caching on F5

All,   I'm trying to enable caching on the F5.   My F5's are running v12.1.2(HA) and load balancing apache servers. Caching is enabled on these servers . But F5 seems to be forcing it off. ...

As per my experience, F5 web accelerator uses HTTP/1.0 in which HTTP persistent connections are not supported hence you dont have keep-alive, which will hurt your performance actually.

 

When I saw this in our application, I was actually disappointed. HTTP/1.0 is just too slow.
