irules 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

Personally, it is recommended to use irules in conjunction with iRulesLX. Using iRulesLX to initiate HTTPS sideband connections and handle JSON is simple, while the official TCL super HTTPS sideband connection code is too long, which affects device performance.

Your code appears to be an http sideband, not an encrypted https sideband
