NimbostratusBrowser type deciscion for redirect?
We have an issue with Opera browser and our HTTP Profile. Until we get it nailed down (or in lieu of) is there a way to have an irule determine browser version and make a decision on use of an http profile or not based on that browser? The more I thought I figured you cannot do this since the http profile is tied to the VIP and not the Pool.
what i am looking for is something basic. i have sparse experience with irules.
if browser is Opera
dont use http profile
use this_pool
else
use http profile
use this pool
end
thanks,
scott

Here here to router/switch guys crashing the application party! 
scott_sams_8256i have to admit i inherited this appliance and the profile was setup prior to me. we rarely make changes unless they are needed due to the nature of the sites it serves. they are high volume ecomm sites and so we don't toy with them too much.
as for what caused the problem, here is the response i got from tech support when i told them what i found.
Title: LTM-6800 v. 9.1.2 - Opera Browser having unexpected results
Severity: General Assistance (Sev 4)
Hi Scott,
I'm sending this email as a follow-up to my voicemail from just moments ago. Due to the large sizes of the tcpdumps, it is taking a lot longer than I expected to drill down and find a specific example of your old "preserve" setting breaking the traffic, but, based on my knowledge of the rechunck setting and the results of your tests, I am confident that you have found the issue and it is safe to make the change on your production VIP.
Let me know if you have any more questions or concerns.
