XML Compression

While looking for methods of compressing XML I came across this pdf.

Is there any way to take advantage of any of the following XML specific compression systems on BIG-IP?

 

 

XMill, XGrind, Xpress, XComp.

 

 

Thanks,

    Hi,

     

     

    I believe the only compression LTM currently supports is GZIP and deflate for HTTP response payloads. You could open a case with F5 Support and ask if they have any plans for supporting pure XML compression for XML attributes. If not, they can create a request for enhancement for you.
