Citrix ADC 13 Advanced Topics – Security, Management and Optimization — Question 63

Scenario: A Citrix Administrator installed the compression feature on the web servers. To offload the compression on the Citrix ADC, the administrator configured the Citrix ADC appliance to remove the ‘Accept Encoding’ header from all HTTP client requests. However, the administrator observes that data is NOT being compressed by the Citrix ADC, even though the ‘Accept Encoding’ header is being removed from all requests.

What could be the cause of this issue?

Answer options

• A. The rewrite policy is bound at an incorrect bind point
• B. The servers are automatically compressing all responses
• C. The compression policy needs to be reconfigured
• D. Servercmp is disabled on the Citrix ADC

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because if the servers are already compressing all responses, the Citrix ADC will not need to perform additional compression. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not directly explain why compression would not occur when the servers are handling it themselves.
