FTP from a browser via explicit proxy.

Hi Peter

​

I am also trying to solve a same situation, but I can't.

I'm using HTTP_PROXY_REQUEST on iRule, but HTTP_PROXY_REQUEST can't control the "ftp://".

​

Mr.totof said work fine in the case of the "HTTP_REQUEST".

So, I thought if "HTTP_REQUEST" could control the FTP over HTTP, "HTTP_PROXY_REQUEST" is also could, but couldn't.

​

HTTP_PROXY_REQUEST

https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/irules/HTTP_PROXY_REQUEST.html

Triggered when a virtual server has proxy-mode explicit set and one of the following two scenarios are true:
・the request has a full uri of the form http://hostname:port/path (much like HTTP_REQUEST, but with access to the original uri)
・the request is a CONNECT request (e.g. CONNECT hostname:port HTTP/1.1)

After that, I tried "CLIENT_ACCEPTED" and "CLIENT_DATA" as below.

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED{
	TCP::collect
}
when CLIENT_DATA{
	if [ string tolower [TCP::payload 10]] contains "get ftp://" ] {
		bla bla bla
		pool test_pool
		# In my case, I want to transfer other HTTP proxy.
	}
}

But the situation is not changing, BIG-IP response HTTP Status Code 400 again.

Someone, do you have any ideas?​
