Check 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: ...

I like the idea of adding a timeout option to the collect commands. However, I'm not a developer (or an F5 employee). You could propose this officially by opening a 'request for enhancement' case with F5 Support (Click here). If you end up doing this and getting a change request (CR) number, please reply with it here so others can reference it if they want to add another request to the RFE.

A CR exists for implementing the TCL 'after' command (CR83581). My understanding is that it was requested for exactly this scenario (SSH over HTTP).
