Running C++ .so filters in Big Ip using iRules or any other way

Question

We have some filters written in c++ that basically needs to get HTTP\S requests and change HTTP\S responses.Is it possible to run .so files on the Big Ip process or on a second independent process, and access them using iRules?Is there a better way we can do it?

There's no supported way to make a binary library call, but perhaps you could look at using the ICAP protocol to get your requests and replies to a different box, and implement your filter there.&nbsp;

Alternatively, you could look at implementing the logic of your filter in an iRule, and apply that to the virtual server(s) required.&nbsp;
