F5 LTM (VE) - KeepAlive even if real server close connection

Hello community!

 

 

I'm qualifying an LTM (VE) 11.2.0 for web loadbalancing, and trying to find a solution for this case:

 

Real web server force connection to close for each call to a very common ressource (because it's does not send Content-Length header, neither chunked, I cannot change this).

 

Is there a way to keep connection alive on the client side, and ask to the device to handle this case ? I also try to force the rechunk, but the connection is also closed. I can passthrough this issue but using http compression for example, but it is not what I'm looking for...

 

I will be happy if someone can help to find a solution for this case.

 

Thanks
