Article ID: CTX130963

Description
A NetScaler appliance has the ability to create a profile with specific HTTP options. Previously, the set httpParam command was used instead of HTTP profile.
The following profiles are pre-configured on an appliance installed with NetScaler software release 9.3 or later:
- nshttp_default_strict_validation - This profile is useful for deployments where strict validation of HTTP requests and responses is required.
- nshttp_default_profile - This profile represents the default global HTTP settings on a NetScaler appliance.
The following table lists the options that are available for an HTTP profile:
