Create a custom HTTP
profile
Part of configuring an HTTP/2 full-proxy configuration on the BIG-IP system is to first
create a standard HTTP profile. An HTTP profile defines the way that you want the BIG-IP
system to manage HTTP traffic.
For the most expedient HTTP/2
full-proxy configuration, you can create a single HTTP profile that the BIG-IP
system will apply to both client-side and server-side HTTP traffic. Alternatively,
if you want the BIG-IP system to manage client-side and server-side traffic in
different ways, you can create two separate HTTP profiles and configure the settings
differently in each profile.
- On the Main tab, click .The HTTP profile list screen opens.
- ClickCreate.The New HTTP Profile screen opens.
- Type a uniqueNamefor the profile.
- From theParent Profilelist, selecthttp.
- Select theCustomcheck box.
- From theRequest Chunkinglist:
- SelectRechunkif you always want the BIG-IP system to send a request to the server as chunked.
- SelectSustainif you want the BIG-IP system to decide whether to send a request to the server as chunked or unchunked.
- From theResponse Chunkinglist:
- SelectUnchunkif you always want the BIG-IP system to send a response to the client as unchunked. Note that if the content length is undefined because an HTTP payload handler modified the content, the system closes the connection.
- SelectRechunkif you always want the BIG-IP system to send a response to the client as chunked.
- SelectSustainif you want the BIG-IP system to decide whether to send a response to the client as chunked or unchunked.
- Modify the other settings as required for your configuration.
- If you want the BIG-IP system to manage server-side traffic differently from client-side traffic, clickRepeatand create another HTTP profile.
- ClickFinished.
Any
custom HTTP profile that you have created now appears on the HTTP profile list screen and is ready for you to assign to a virtual server.
