Symptoms

Occasionally, WAM forwards only the HTTP headers for POST requests to the pool member. The body is not forwarded.

Impact

Clients may be unable to have their HTTP POST requests satisfied.

Conditions

Customers must have POST requests be cache-able in their AAM policy, which it is by default.

Workaround

Disable WAM (completely or on a per-URI basis in an iRule) or alter policy to not cache POST requests.

Fix Information

None
