iRules for recreation: HTTP Protocol Parser implemented using BIG-IP iRule(unfinished)

Interesting discussion his highlights a real-world challenge with iRules where protocol parsing and TCP-level inspection don’t always behave as expected. The points about handling non-HTTP traffic and deciding when to collect or bypass payload data are especially important for clean design. Thanks for sharing the details, it’s a useful reference for anyone working on BIG-IP traffic control and protocol detection.
