NimbostratusCheck protocol in iRule
I'm using the F5 LTM to intercept HTTP traffic. Sometimes clients "mis-use" port 80 for other protocols like SSH, FTP, etc and I've written an iRule to verify the connection contains HTTP traffic:

NimbostratusWhat happens if the client uses a protocol, such as ssh, to the virtual server where the client doesn't send any data until it has received some data from the server? Will the connection not hang as the CLIENT_DATA event will never be triggered?
Is there same way to timeout the TCP::collect on the client side and make an assumption that if no-data arrives then it is not HTTP?
Thanks.
