18 years agoSupport for user-defined functions?
Hello,
I'm curious to know if there is any possibility for supporting user-defined functions. I know that you can't do this currently, but I think it might be helpful. The current issue I'm running into is that I need to copy/paste the same section of code for encrypting, base64 encoding and then URI encoding response headers and content. Then I need to do the opposite on requests. If I could create an encrypt and a decrypt function which handles errors and optimizes the existing functions for this specific implementation, it would save a considerable amount of repetition and simplify writing and maintaining the iRule.
There have been a few related requests on DC for function support, so I think other people see value in this.
I can submit a case for a feature request, but I figure I would check here first to see if there is any chance of it being implemented.
Thanks,
Aaron

Soon, but not now :) It's a lot more concrete now than in the past.
