(config) accelerator http
Command Modes global configuration
Device Modes application-accelerator
Usage Guidelines Use the accelerator http enable command to enable the acceleration of HTTP traffic.
You can enable or disable each of three metadata caches (conditional-response, redirect-response, and
unauthorized-response) separately. By default they are all enabled when you enable HTTP metadata
caching. If you disable the HTTP accelerator, metadata caching is also disabled.
When you enable the suppress-server-encoding feature, the WAE removes the Accept-Encoding header
from HTTP requests, preventing the web server from compressing HTTP data that it sends to the client.
This allows the WAE to apply its own compression to the HTTP data, typically resulting in much better
compression than the web server.
Examples The following example shows how to enable the HTTP application accelerator:
WAE(config)# accelerator http enable
The following example shows how to enable and configure the metadata cache to operate only on
specific file types:
WAE(config)# accelerator http metadatacache enable
WAE(config)# accelerator http metadatacache filter-extension html,css,jpg,gif
