Hi Daniel,

the MD5 command is able to handle arbitrary binary data also including high-bit ISO-8859-1/Latin-1 characters (e.g. german umlaute).

Please post your related iRule code to see where the high-bit characters are getting silently transformed to UTF-8 (the default encoding of TCL). Based on this I'm happy to show you where to place a [binary format A* $utf_input] to revert the UTF-8 encodings back to ISO-8859-1/Latin-1...

Cheers, Kai
