CSS not LB http delete headers

[Carl King]

Software Version: SW Version: 4.00 Build 7

I cannot get a connection to any of the servers in our server

farm when the HTTP header type is DELETE. It works fine with GET and POST over

the same port number. The process works if we bypass the CSS and go directly to

a server. Does anyone know how can we support this thru the CSS?

This is not supported by the CSS. The following text is taken from here:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/contnetw/ps792/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a008029c621.html#wp1096916

"A Layer 5 content rule supports the HTTP CONNECT, GET, HEAD, POST, PUSH, and PUT methods. In addition, the CSS recognizes and forwards the following HTTP methods directly to the destination server in a transparent caching environment but does not load balance them: RFC 2068 - OPTIONS, TRACE and RFC 2518 - PROPFIND, PROPPATCH, MKCOL, MOVE, LOCK, UNLOCK, COPY, DELETE."
