Web page in iFile over HTTP::respond content

Hi all! I have a strange situation. I have a html page in iFile storage. The page has cyrillic text and I return this page to clients by HTTP::respond content in iRule. If I use construction like: ...
application delivery
deployment
devops
iRules
LTM

Deckard, Thank you for help, but unfortunately it doesn't work in my case. Thanks for F5 support, they found solution - for my case, I should use following construction for generating binary string rather than UTF-8 encoding:

set web_page [ binary format a* [subst -nobackslashes [ifile get web_page]]]
...
HTTP::respond 200 content $web_page "Content-Type" "text/html;charset=utf-8"

    This is really cool, I can handle Chinese characters with the ifile.
