If, for instance, there is an iRule which sends a response in the HTTP_REQUEST event then this will not fire the HTTP_RESPONSE event as you say ( because that fires for serverside responses ).

I don't know how to get around this other than to use the HTTP::has_responded command https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/irules/HTTP__has_responded.html and create a log if a response has been sent.

Actually thats a pretty good way of doing it set priority really low and pick it up that way.
Hadn't thought of that.

I think its a bug, that it doesn't fire the other events.
