#### To configure the HTTP Service

1. Expand the Configuration node to select the HTTP Service node.
2. In the Clusters and Enterprise profile, select the configuration you want to configure.
3. Click the HTTP Service tab.
4. On the HTTP Service page, you can set properties that apply to all of the service’s HTTP listeners and virtual servers.

   - Enable Access Logging by virtual servers. If selected, this enables access logging for all virtual-server sub-elements that do not specify this property. If not selected, this option disables access logging for all virtual-server sub-elements that do not specify this property.

   - In the Access Log Buffer Size field, specify the size (in bytes) of the access log buffer , or a value less than or equal to zero for unbuffered access logs. The default size is 4096 bytes.

   - In the Access Log Write Interval field, specify the number of seconds before the log will be written to the disk. The access log is written when the buffer is full or when the interval expires. If the value is less than or equal to zero, then the buffer is always written even if it is not full. This means that each time the server is accessed, the log message is stored directly to the file.

5. Specify additional properties, if required.

   The following table lists these properties.

   Property Name | Description | Default Value
   --- | --- | ---
   `connectionTimeout` | Specifies the number of milliseconds HTTP listeners wait, after accepting a connection, for the request URI line to be presented. | 12000 (12 seconds)
   `maxKeepAliveRequests` | Specifies the maximum number of HTTP requests that can be pipelined until the connection is closed by the server. Set this property to 1 to disable HTTP/1.0 keep-alive, as well as HTTP/1.1 keep-alive and pipelining. | 1000
   `traceEnabled` | If set to true, enables the TRACE operation. Set this property to false to make the server less susceptible to cross-site scripting attacks. | true

6. Click Save.
