This will give you an idea;-

         Do nothing - request allowed

    default {
        HTTP::respond 403 Content "Invalid client type"

thanks IheartF5 for the sample iRule. Please correct my understanting of it: switch -glob [HTTP::header User-Agent] { "*AppleWebKit*Safari*" { Do nothing - request allowed }----------------------------------------------------this part says alow requests from Safari to the pool default { HTTP::respond 403 Content "Invalid client type" return } }-----------------------------------this part am not sure. Does it mean, request from any other browsr to send invalid request.

Yes the last part (the default one) will respond to all toher web browsers they are invalid client type. But you can add a case to the switch on Opera to block request with this client type and accept others
