Decompress functionality

Is there capabilities within iRules to decompress aspects of a request such as a POST parameter before sending it to the server?

  • As far as I'm aware, compression is only used in server responses. I don't think any HTTP RFC supports clients sending compressed data in a request. What is the issue you're trying to deal with? Can you post an anonymised example of the request?

  • We control the client in this problem and are investigating ways of compressing requests which will be sent. I don't have any example requests to post at this time.

     

     

    Thanks for the response.
