This will give you an idea;-

switch -glob [HTTP::header User-Agent] {
    "*AppleWebKit*Safari*" {
         Do nothing - request allowed
    }

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

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.
