Hello All,

Is it possible to use the page screenshot(jpg) on ifile and call it on irule

when HTTP\_REQUEST {  
&nbsp; &nbsp;# Retrieve the file contents, send it in an HTTP 200 response and clear the temporary variable  
&nbsp; &nbsp;set ifileContent [ifile get “test\_application\_name”]  
&nbsp; &nbsp;HTTP::respond 200 content $ifileContent  
&nbsp; &nbsp;unset ifileContent  
}

Yes it’s doable and it’s pretty straight forward. I hope the vip that you are planning to apply to, is a maintenance vip as i see in your irule you don’t have any if else block. So it will apply for everything that’s going to hit this.

I have applied the JPG file and when I am applying to the VIP its giving me an error “ifile is not present”.
