Using curl, you could do it like that:

DISABLE pool member:
curl -sk -u admin:password https://1.2.3.4:443/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/~Common~testweb_pool/members/~Common~host1:80 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X PUT -d "{\"session\":\"user-disabled\"}"
ENABLE pool member:
curl -sk -u admin:password https://1.2.3.4:443/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/~Common~testweb_pool/members/~Common~host1:80 -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X PUT -d "{\"session\":\"user-enabled\"}"

You can adopt this using any language / REST client you like.
