HTTP request to allow specific header

Hello guys. I'm new to irules, I was looking for some irule that only allows a specific header to access the application, if you don't have this header allowed it will drop this connection attempt. ...

Hello Pete.

Is it possible to change the Irule to read the value and the header? For example, name = X-Custom-header and value = "ABCDEF123456"

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    if { (! [HTTP::header exists "Header_name"]) || ([HTTP::header value "X-Custom-header" != "ABCDEF123456) } { 
        drop
    }
}
