Hi I am looking for some help with an irule that can call out to an api
- Jul 12, 2023
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
I started with Ca-valli solution because i was more comfortable with it but with all the extra irules ( sideband, helper sideband) I needed to incorporate it seemed bulky and seemed difficult to document and maintain by others. I decided to go with the irulelx as the json parsing was easier and the whole setup once I understood how it works is easier to maintain. Unfortunately the app group has not tested it yet. I will update this post once they get around to testing it.
Thanks for all the help on this guys!
