ASM and binary content

I could use some advise on how best to manage LTM VIPs that require ASM. More spesificaly when dealing with web application that pass a mix of binary and text content. Basically when ASM is activated, the sites stop working when binary content is requested.

 

 

I have tried to create an iRule that identifies the binary data types and skips class processing, but that did not work so well. There always seemed to be requests that were not identified as binary, but the would get blocked by ASM.

 

 

I have considered writing an iRule that will only send text data types to ASM. The rule would look at the content type and if it is text or xml then allow class processing, otherwise skip the http class and go directly to the pool.

 

 

Is there a better way... Is there a feature to tell ASM to ignore data formats it can't interpret? Any advice would be appreciated.
