From d8c5a29ccfce0c2519c2c50ae32cb678fc4c47f6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Dooley Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2025 16:30:37 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] feat: Clarify subrequest information for F5 WAF This commit updates the Configure NGINX features with F5 WAF document by clarifying the language around subrequest limitations. The prior phrasing leads by suggesting they do not work at all. The new phrasing explains that it works, but has a caveat. Further language has been clarified in the sentence following it, supporting the overall structure of the document.
