Call to a webservice and analyze the answer within an Irule

I'd like to know if this is possible to perform a call to a webservice and read the answer within an Irule. If this is the case, where could I find some documentation of examples?

 

 

Thanks for your help.

    Hi Adrien,

     

     

    You can use HTTP::retry to make an external HTTP request and then make a load balancing decision. Deb posted an article on this a while back:
