Http monitor with the no-cache field applied

Hi Ju,

 

 

The exact send string format has changed over the different LTM versions. Which LTM version are you running?

Hi Hoolio,

 

 

My ltm version is 10.1

Hi Ju,

 

 

In 10.2 bigd appends two CRLF's to the end of the monitor send string. In 10.2.0, this was changed so bigd doesn't modify the send string:

 

 

SOL10655: Change in Behavior: CR/LF characters appended to the HTTP monitor Send string

 

http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/10000/600/sol10655.html

 

 

So for 10.1, you could use something like this:

 

 

GET http://www.google.fr HTTP/1.1\r\nPragma: no-cache\r\nCache-Control: no-cache

 

 

Make sure to specify a receive string with text that is only found in a successful response's headers or payload (the first ~5k).

 

 

When you upgrade to 10.2.0 or higher, you'll want to add \r\n\r\n to the end of the send string.

Thank Hoolio for your help,

 

 

To improve performance , I have just replaced the GET by the HEAD method , and it works perfectly.

 

 

HEAD http://www.google.fr HTTP/1.1\r\nPragma: no-cache\r\nCache-Control: no-cache
