Use this page to view or change the request routing properties for a Web server plug-in.
To view this administrative console page, click Servers > Web Servers > Web_server_name Plug-in Properties > Plug-in server_cluster_name Properties.
On the Configuration tab, you can edit fields. On the Runtime tab, you can look at read-only information.
The Runtime tab is available only when this Web server has accessed
applications running on application servers and there is an http_plugin.log file.

The load balancing option that the plug-in uses in sending requests to the various application servers associated with that Web server.
This field corresponds to the LoadBalanceWeight element in the plugin-cfg.xml file. Select the appropriate load balancing option:
The Round Robin implementation has a random starting point. The first application server is picked randomly. Round Robin is then used to pick application servers from that point forward. This implementation ensures that in multiple process based Web servers, all of the processes don't start up by sending the first request to the same Application Server.
The default load balancing type is Round Robin.
The length of time, in seconds, that should elapse from the time an application server is marked down to the time that the plug-in retries a connection.
This field corresponds to the ServerWaitforContinue element in the plugin-cfg.xml file.
| Data type | Integer |
| Default | 60 seconds |
Select whether there is a limit on the size of request content. If limited, this field also specifies the maximum number of bytes of request content allowed in order for the plug-in to attempt to send the request to an application server.
This field corresponds to the PostSizeLimit element in the plugin-cfg.xml file.
When a limit is set, the plug-in fails any request that is received that is greater than the specified limit. Select whether to limit the size of request content:
If Set limit is selected, specify a limit size.
| Data type | Integer |
| Default | -1, which indicates there is no limit for the post size.
Specify the size in kilobytes (1024 byte blocks). |
When checked, the plug-in will remove any headers from incoming requests before adding the headers the plug-in is supposed to add before forwarding the request to an application server.
This field corresponds to the RemoveSpecialHeaders element in the plugin-cfg.xml file.
The plug-in adds special headers to the request before it is forwarded to the application server. These headers store information about the request that will need to be used by the application. Not removing the headers from incoming requests introduces a potential security exposure.
Clear the check box to retain special headers.
When checked, the plug-in expects the plus character (+) as the clone separator.
This field corresponds to the ServerCloneID element in the plugin-cfg.xml file.
Some pervasive devices cannot handle the colon character (:) used to separate clone IDs in conjunction with session affinity. If this field is checked, also change the configurations of the associated application servers such that the application servers separates clone IDs with the plus character as well.
Clear the checkbox to use the colon character to separate clone IDs.
