Compress HTTP Traffic:
Selecting “yes” to this option will activate the WebMux HTTP compression. If the client web
browser sends out a MIME header that states that it accepts compressed data. The WebMux
will compress HTTP data to the client browser. If the WebMux detects that the servers in the
farm are already compressing the data, the WebMux will not perform compression. Instead, it
will let the compressed data from the servers pass through without additional processing.
When enabled the MIME header “X-WebMux-Compression: true” will be appended to the
server response MIME header. The WebMux will also automatically disable compression
should its CPU usage reach 50%.
Note Compression is NOT supported in Out-of-Path Mode, except when used in a
Layer 7 Farm.
SNAT:
Enable SNAT for this farm only. In the Network Configuraiton screen, user can specify the
system wide SNAT, or use this field to enable per farm based SNAT.
HTTP server response comparison string:
When a string is entered in this field, WebMux HTTP healthcheck will search the first 1024
bytes in the HTTP content. String is case sensitive match.
HTTP server URI:
By default, WebMux healthcheck checks default page loading. If specifying a URI here,
WebMux will use this URI instead of default page do healthcheck.
