I have learned that the TIFF is embedded in xml, base64 encoded. Is it still possible to do this?

 

I know that the F5 can do xml validation. Could I do this as part of that function?

    Sure. It becomes more complicated, but it's possible. Recently an XML parser was added in irules that you could use, but probably for your use case it would be easier to just use pattern matching on the decoded base64 data. You're not looking to validate the entire document, just a sanity check against certain parameters.
