Jul 11, 2023irules is not good at parsing JSON key value in HTTP Payload, Initiating HTTPS connections on irules' sideband is also cumbersome
I suggest you use irules and cooperate with iRulesLX to initiate a sideband https connection using node.js,Node.js can use its built-in JSON library to handle JSON, which is very advantageous

Thank for the suggestion . I don't have much experience with irulesLX or node .js for that matter. I will look into this. I was also wondering if a per request policy with an http connector my be a more optimized solution. I can trigger the access policy based on request. I have not used http connectors so the flow is still fuzzy in my mind.
