FTP to proxy transformation (AV content inspection)

Oswaldo,

 

 

Depending on the exact transformations that need to occur, this should be possible...though likely not trivial.

 

 

With iRules you have the ability to read the entire header and payload and make granular changes to the contents. Something like altering the username/password format is absolutely possible.

 

 

Since I've never tried this, I can't say exactly what it would take, but if you have the requirements of the proxy connection and the FTP connection, that's probably a good place to start. If you can map out each change that needs to be made, you can probably find some iRules commands to allow you to make the change.

 

 

I would wager identifying all of the proper changes that need to be made is half the battle. This sounds like an interesting project. Make sure to keep us updated on your progress, and any questions you might have on specific rule functionality.

 

 

Thanks!
