cmp policy¶

The following operations can be performed on "cmp policy":

add cmp policy¶

Creates a classic or default syntax HTTP compression policy. When the policy matches an HTTP request or response, the action specified in the policy is performed on the transaction. The policy can be bound globally or to an entity. For the policy to have an effect, compression must be enabled on the service.

Synopsys¶

add cmp policy <name> -rule <expression> -resAction <string>

Arguments¶

name

Name of the HTTP compression policy. Must begin with an ASCII alphabetic or underscore (_) character, and must contain only ASCII alphanumeric, underscore, hash (#), period (.), space, colon (:), at (@), equals (=), and hyphen (-) characters.

Can be changed after the policy is created.

The following requirement applies only to the NetScaler CLI:

If the name includes one or more spaces, enclose the name in double or single quotation marks (for example, "my cmp policy" or 'my cmp policy').

rule

Expression that determines which HTTP requests or responses match the compression policy. Can be a classic expression or a default-syntax expression.

Note:

Maximum length of a string literal in the expression is 255 characters. A longer string can be split into smaller strings of up to 255 characters each, and the smaller strings concatenated with the + operator. For example, you can create a 500-character string as follows: '"<string of 255 characters>" + "<string of 245 characters>"'

The following requirements apply only to the NetScaler CLI:

If the expression includes one or more spaces, enclose the entire expression in double quotation marks.
If the expression itself includes double quotation marks, escape the quotations by using the \ character.
Alternatively, you can use single quotation marks to enclose the rule, in which case you do not have to escape the double quotation marks.

resAction

The built-in or user-defined compression action to apply to the response when the policy matches a request or response.

Example¶

Example 1:add cmp policy pdf_cmp -rule "RES.HTTP.HEADER Content-Type CONTAINS application/pdf" -resAction COMPRESSAfter creating the above compression policy, you must activate it by binding it globally:bind cmp global pdf_cmpThe NetScaler system will use the configured pdf_cmp compression policy to perform compression of pdf files.Example 2:The following command disables compression for all the access from the specific subnet.add cmp policy local_sub_nocmp -rule "SOURCEIP == 10.1.1.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0" -resAction NOCOMPRESSbind cmp global local_sub_nocmp

rm cmp policy¶

Removes a user-defined HTTP compression policy.

Synopsys¶

rm cmp policy <name>

Arguments¶

name

Name of the HTTP compression policy to be removed.

Example¶

rm cmp policy cmp_policy_nameThe "show cmp policy" command shows all currently defined HTTP compression policies.

set cmp policy¶

Modifies the specified parameters of an HTTP compression policy. Note: Use the show cmp policy command to view all configured HTTP compression policies.

Synopsys¶

set cmp policy <name> [-rule <expression>] [-resAction <string>]

Arguments¶

name

Name of the HTTP compression policy to be modified.

rule

New rule to be associated with the HTTP compression policy. You can modify the existing rule or create a new rule.

resAction

The built-in or user-defined compression action to be associated with the policy.

Example¶

Example 1:add cmp policy pdf_cmp -rule "RES.HTTP.HEADER Content-Type CONTAINS application/pdf" -resAction COMPRESSAfter creating the above compression policy, you must activate it by binding it globally:bind cmp global pdf_cmpThe NetScaler system will use the configured pdf_cmp compression policy to perform compression for pdf files.To disable pdf compression for Internet Explorer, you can change the above compression policy by issuing the following command:set cmp policy pdf_cmp -rule "RES.HTTP.HEADER Content-Type CONTAINS application/pdf && RES.HTTP.HEADER User-Agent NOTCONTAINS MSIE"To view the changed cmp policy, enter the following command:>show cmp policy pdf_cmp Name: pdf_cmp Rule: (RES.HTTP.HEADER Content-Type CONTAINS application/pdf && REQ.HTTP.HEADER User-Agent NOTCONTAINS MSIE) Response action: COMPRESS Hits: 2 Bytes In:...609284 Bytes Out:... 443998 Bandwidth saving...27.13% Ratio 1.37:1 Done
