TCL encoding command not accepted

Hi Ims,

unfortunately there does not exist a simple hack to access the

[encoding]

command.

In v9 the

[encoding]

command was official listed as a disabled command. In newer versions is not listed anymore... But instead its now completely removed / hidden from the iRule environment, since you can even find the command using

[info command *]

. I duno if this is a just documentation bug or an unintended behavior. But you may raise a ticket to clarify the situation with the F5 support.

You may also want to perform the needed unicode conversation using a

[string map]

command and a

$charmap

of your choice. This technique would allow you to define the unicode format and possible escape sequences as required by your application.

If you need further assistence to setup the charmap, then provide a sample of the unicode format the application expects.

Cheers, Kai
