NimbostratusRunning iFile (javascript code) from iRule
Is it possible to execute javascript code written in an iFile from within iRule?
what I want to achieve is, something like below:
when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
run the javascript code in iFile which sends request to particular server
check the response from destination server and set some flag
}
when HTTP_REQUEST {
direct traffic to some other pools based on flags set above
}
I would appreciate if anyone could provide me with the solution. Thank you!

Hi, I don't know if you are talking about classic tcl iRule, but, you may need to script it using iRule LX.

rsacheenHello cjunior! Thank you for the comment on my question. You introduced me with something new and I found it interesting. I don't know if iRule LX feature can be used in BIG-IP Ver. 11.5.3 that I am using. Just did a brief search and it looks like the above version doesn't have the feature.
Thank you for sharing the knowledge. I appreciate.
Besides iRulesLX you may also want to checkout SIDEBAND. This can help you build a dynamic irule. See:
