          request = $true
          httpHost = $true
          equals = $true
          values = "www.mydomain.net"
        }
}
 
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://$url/mgmt/tm/ltm/policy/~Common~Drafts~$Policy/rules/Testing -Method PUT -Headers $Header -Body (ConvertTo-Json $ActionsBody) -ContentType 'application/json'
