Beginner Compression Question
compression for beginners
Hello all,
I need help checking compression is working properly through the F5 BigIP LTM using V9.
I have setup the HTTP profile using enabling HTTP Compression using the "http-wan-optimized-compression" profile. Compression is set to "Enabled" and the include "Content list" contains...
text/html text/css text/plain application.javascript text/javascript image/*
Everything else is default from the parent profile.
My question is this...
-
How can i check the BIGIP compression is definitely working? Is there a command i can run from the CLI?
-
Do i need "Keep Accept Encoding" ticket?
-
I have wire-sharked the conversations and can see some servers have Content-Type: set for the above. How can i check the compression is being hit for the above include list?
-
How would a HTTPS VIP and compression work? Would the data still be compressed even when running HTTPs/SSL profile?
Any help or advice on checking would much appreciated.
