iRule to modify HTTP status response header

Question

Hi All,
I’m trying to modify the status in a server response from “101” to “101 Switching Protocols” in an iRule.
If using HTTP, I can do this by modifying TCP payload. But in our case we are using server-SSL and TCP payload is encrypted. Anyone have any idea how to get around this? It looks like we are restricted to using HTTP:: commands, but there doesn't seem to be any way to modify the status header with these commands. I'm looking at potentially doing a vip-targeting-vip, but would obviously like to see a more elegant way to do this.. :-) 
Thanks!&nbsp;

Hi Ichalis,&nbsp;
If you want to manage/change/view HTTP traffic (Request or response) you have to intercept ssl traffic.
That's meant that you have to set a ssl client and ssl server profile (ssl decrypt and ssl encrypt).&nbsp;
If you don't decrypt traffic you will not be able to view the traffic and therefore modify it...&nbsp;
Regards,&nbsp;
