When an HTTP/2 profile is configured on the client side, chunked responses are always sent unchunked. When a connection to a client is congested, BIG-IP systems may send the END_STREAM flag before transmitting a whole payload.
A browser may not receive the whole payload, or it may not recognize that the payload has been delivered fully (partially prior to the DATA frame with END_STREAM flag, partially after the frame).
-- A virtual server with an HTTP/2 profile configured on the client side. -- A server responds with a chunked response.
Configure an HTTP profile on the client side with a value of 'unchunk' on the response-chunking option.
BIG-IP systems no longer send a DATA frame with END_STREAM flag prematurely when a connection to a client is congested.
