REST API w/ APM HTTP Authorization Server

I'm trying to use an APM HTTP authentication server to send a REST API call and store part of the response as a subtable key. I setup the custom post configuration in APM and target a virtual server which encrypts for the API call. Everything works but the API response is being truncated to around 900 characters instead of the expected 2,000-3,200 characters.

 

I've tried different HTTP and TCP profile settings on the API encryption virtual server but suspect I'm running into a limitation of the APM HTTP authorization server. Any suggestions on how to overcome this or would I be better off attempting a sideband connection?

    There are some internal profiles and irules applied to things like APM authentication servers, and these are possibly causing the problems you are encountering.

    I think the sideband connection (or maybe irulesLX) would be a much better option.
