Opened: Feb 04, 2020

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

JavaScript engine file is empty.

Impact

No FPS protection for that HTML page.

Conditions

Original HTML page with FPS injected content is cached for too long due to some caching headers (e.g., ETag), so the JavaScript engine link becomes invalid.

Workaround

You can use either workaround: -- Use an iRule to disable caching for protected HTML pages. -- Set caching time for protected HTML pages to the same value as the datasync tables regeneration timer according to the active datasync profile (default value is two 2 days).

Fix Information

FPS now also removes ETag headers from protected HTML pages.
