Thanks Dario - We need to make some fairly complex calls including generating a signed JWT token before initiating the sideband connection, that JWT is then used to request an access token from API 1 - we then need to use that token to make a second sideband call to API 2 and use it to validate some of the header info from the initial HTTP request, hence me looking at using iLX! 😀 - I'm much more familiar with regular iRules so if the same could be achieved that way I'd be happier!
If anyone can shed any light on the iLX > Virtual server sideband methods I'd be appreciative.
Fallback position is to offload this work to a web service on an application server but that will add another tier of infrastructure to the process, so I'd like to try and explore the options of doing this on-box if we can.
Thanks,
Dan
Then I recommend you to use iRulesLX better.
Here you have a good example.

Also, some doc of how to start with iRulesLX
