A request from our core developers at DevCentral to our customers [long]

I'm not sure what your point is, mmelin@speakeasy.net. It sounds like you're frustrated with what you've been able to get in documentation and help with iRules. Your approach is not the best for getting anything accomplished though.

 

 

I looked through the forums for your posts and saw one question from you. I think Denny and I gave valid tips based on the information you'd provided. Perhaps we could have given better suggestions if we had a clearer understanding of what you were trying to do. With the exception of a few people whose primary job is working on DevCentral, no one here professes to be an expert in iRules. Considering the number of protocols and applications that people use iRules for, I don't expect anyone to have an expert answer for all scenarios. If you want a guaranteed custom solution, pay for it. F5 sells this through their consulting group.

 

 

If you want best effort help and suggestions from other users, F5 employees and Developers, come to DevCentral. But sniping comments like you've posted aren't what will encourage anyone to help you. As a standard disclaimer, I don't work for F5 and I'm not defending them. I'm just trying to give you some background on the situation and let you know that your comment is juvenile and insulting. The general level of conduct on this forum has been very professional. As a user of the forum, I'd ask you to try to maintain that if you continue to post here.
