Environment
Novell Access Management 3 Linux Access Gateway
Novell Access Management 3 Access Administration
Situation
Linux Access Gateway configured to accelerate an iNotes Web server.
Some browsers in the environment are running older versions of IE
with known issues handling gzip compressed data. To avoid any
compression of data being returned to the browser, the Web server
configuration for the Linux Access Gateway reverse proxy service
had the 'Enable Force HTTP 1.0 to Origin' server enabled. The goal
of this is to have the proxy send HTTP 1.0 requests to the origin
server so that the origin server would respond with no compressed
data. Even with this 'Enable Force HTTP 1.0 to Origin' parameter
enabled, the Linux Access Gateway would continue to send HTTP 1.1
requests to the origin server and the responses from this server
were always compressed.
Resolution
Apply Linux Access Gateway build 3.0.1-171 and greater. The 171
build is shipped with Access Manager 3 Support Pack 1 release
Candidate 1 patch.
