Hi ingard,

'encoding' is one of the disabled TCL commands:

http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/DisabledTclCommands.html

To get a list of commands you can use the following rule: 

 
 when RULE_INIT { 
  
    foreach cmd [lsort [info commands]] { 
       log local0. "  cmd: $cmd" 
    } 
 }

I'm not sure what the best way to convert UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 without the encoding command would be. Here is a related post without much of an iRule-based solution (Click here).

Anyone have ideas?
