Will iRule ICAP ??
I have some questions regarding the BIG-IP capacity to analyse the ICAP protocol. I know ICAP is somehow similar to HTTP but I am wondering if
1*/ BIG-IP is able to analyse ICAP messages and persist based on an ICAP Header where the user information is stored. My understanding is YES you never know !
2*/ If BIG-IP can respond in place of the server to ICAP OPTIONS Request. We would like to analyse Some ICAP REQUESTS and In case we found the most common one, we would like to respond IN PLACE IF THE SERVER using the HTTP::RESPOND API
Any help will be much more appreciated

- There should be no problems with any of this. If you'd like to take a stab at the rule, we'll help out if you have any trouble.
- The only question I have is how to use the HTTP::RESPOND
the iRule I want to write can be very simple
When HHTP-REQUEST {
if [HTTP::method== "OPTIONS"]
HTTP::respond "ICAP/1.0 200 OK" Content "Whatever Content I would like to respond" X-Forwarded-Header "192.168.155.1"
}
Am I correct with the way to use HTTP::RESPOND in the rule ?
