SSL application not working with http profile

Hello.

 I have an application that runs on both http and https, i have created one Virtual server for the http version and  another one for the https version. i want to enable http compression that requires the http profile, but if i enable the http profile on the SSL version, it stops working. i am not doing SSL termination on the FS. what can be problem, or what needs to be done?

 

Regards.

  • HI,

    If you apply the HTTP profile to the HTTPS VS you have to create an SSL profile with the public certificate, if not you can´t apply an HTTP profile, take in mind that the HTTP profile guides the VS to understand all HTTP headers in the traffic, and without the certificates, it cannot decrypt and interpret the traffic making it fails.

    If the compression profile requires an HTTP profile, is because the traffic have to be decrypted first to apply the compression algorithm.

     

    Hope it works.
