Need to look into a payload of https traffic and route it to appropriate pool based on some payload data

I am in need of looking into payload of incoming https traffic which is getting decrypted at F5 as F5 is working as SSL bridge in this case. I want to find a specific data in payload and then make a decision on which pool to forward the traffic to based on that data. Any help is appreciated.

    If you are using SSL Bridging (decrypt/Big-IP processes/re-encrypt) it should.

      Here is another thing which I failed to mention earlier.

      1. Firstly, I need to look into all the encrypted payload first, then identify which field I need to use to make that forwarding decision. I just know what information I am seeking in the payload, but don't know which part of payload that information exists.
      2. Once that is identified, I will then need to write an irule to make decisions based on that specific field.

       

      So currently I am just trying to have a look at all of the payload which is encrypted. I hope I have made myself clear this time.
