IFILE with non-html content

Question

Hi Everyone,&nbsp;
I have a requirement to use the LB to load a pdf file as a response to particular URL. Would this be possible using an irule with an ifile combination. If so how would like.&nbsp;
We want to avoid having to build a VM just to serve a pdf file and considering the possibility of importing the pdf file unto the LTM can call it with an irule using the ifile.&nbsp;

This should get you going...
when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [HTTP::uri] eq "/example.pdf" } {
        HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get testpdf] Content-Type "application/pdf" Cache-Control "max-age=0,must-revalidate"
    }
}
