HTML encode function for iRule

Hi     I am looking for function/method to perform HTML encoding within iRule. Can I use php or Perl and call it from iRule?     Thank you.

Hi Mike,

 

 

Do you have a lot of HTML you want to encode? Or is it something you can do statically once at iRule load time?

 

 

I think it would be great to have a native HTML encode function in iRules. You cannot load PHP or Perl in an iRule. But we should be able to come up with some kind of psuedo function to do this.
