Hey DeepSeek, can you write iRules?

Revisiting my article from 2 years ago, I asked the same question to DeepSeek and gave it the same tasks that I gave ChatGPT back then.

Back in time... Two years ago I asked ChatGPT whether it could write iRules. My conclusion after giving several tasks to ChatGPT was, that it can help with simple tasks but it cannot write i...

what should the iRule do? Show different ASM blocking pages based on different host name header?
Or show the violation data / blocking reason too?

      Hi Danielzi,

      I'm travelling this week, I can write you such iRule when I'm back home. However, I would be very cautious with 500+ HTTP  status code pages. They might give attackers valuable information about the stack and frameworks used in your app. Like PHP version or DB server type.

        Hi

        Yes, you are right, but I don’t want to display the error code. I just want to show a different error page than the custom error page I currently have so that I can immediately notify the system administrators that it’s a server issue and not a blockage due to an illegal request.
