If the BIG-IP system has a web-acceleration which provides a number of caching and optimization options suitable for HTTP/1.1. It uses 'Connection: Keep-Alive' header on a server side, which results in appearance of 'Keep-Alive' header in a response. Such a HTTP header was adopted by the industry but not standardized. When a web-acceleration profile is configured and provides a response, Safari clients do not accept responses with a such header and reject those with a RST_STREAM message.
A response to a request is rejected, which might cause incorrect rendering of HTTP page.
-- BIG-IP has a virtual server with HTTP/2 profile and a web-acceleration profile. -- A pool member responds with 'Keep-Alive' header in the following format: Keep-Alive: timeout=<number>, max=<number>.
Use an iRule to remove the Keep-Alive header: when HTTP_RESPONSE_RELEASE { HTTP::header remove keep-alive } Alternatively use an LTM Policy where this header is removed from a server's response.
