Encrypt HTTP body?

I know this sounds strange but is it possible to only encrypt only the body of an http packet with an iRule? The client at the far end is not a browser but a custom client.

Yes, very strange...Today, the webserver will encrypt the data portion of a port 80 packet and a custom client will decrypt the data portion. Looking to offload the encryption from the webserver. The client can be changed to accommodate certain encryption schemes if necessary. The reason for port 80 is to bypass corporate firewalls...
