Sorry Page Content Question.

I have written an irule to display an HTML sorry page if there is ever less then 1 available member in the pool " if { [active_members [LB::server pool]] < 1 }". That all works great but I am having difficulty getting my html into the irule. The page has a base 64 encoded background and a base64 encoded image but the rest is just html. I am using a "{ HTTP::respond 200 content " Is there syntax I am missing? Do I need to specify the entire page as base 64 and do a decode or something?

 

Thanks

    You can use iFile too, but, I think you want something like this:

    when RULE_INIT {
    set ::background BACKGROUNDBASE64HERE=
    set ::sorrypage  CONTENTOFBASE64HERE==
}

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [active_members [LB::server pool]] < 1 } {
        if { [HTTP::uri] ends_with "background.jpg" } {
            HTTP::respond 200 content [b64decode $::background]
        } else {
            HTTP::respond 200 content [b64decode $::sorrypage]
        }
    }
}
