I need to allow specific files to be uploaded in a app. e.g not allowing .exe or .sh Issue is that file is uploaded in post via content of request. how can this be managed via LTM policy or of irule.

File Name is mentioned as followin in Content-Disposition header. 

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="filedata"; filename="test.php"

    Could you just create an iRule that will reject requests to upload certain files? Something like 

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [HTTP::header exists "Content-Disposition"] } {
        switch -glob [HTTP::header value "Content-Disposition"] {
            "*filename=*.exe*" -
            "*filename=*.sh*" {
                 Reject however you'd like:
                 reject
                 HTTP::redirect "/error"
            }
        }
    }
}
