The Compression strategy Size is not working as expected. Instead of performing compression in the software, the system use the hardware compression provider to compress HTTP server responses.
Compression data is done in hardware rather than software.
1. Compression.strategy "SIZE" 2. Create a http vs with http compress profile
Set compression.providerbusy to 0
Compression.strategy "SIZE" would cause software to do the compression.
