Tried various ways with trying to call the api endpoint direct as well as Axios but I cannot update an Aflex rule programatically. I always get a JSON error ({“code”: 1174, “msg”: “Invalid JSON document.”}}), c:/temp/1.file below is a basic iRule for which I’ve tried to save also in various encodings, ASCII, UTF-8 etc:

####BEGIN Python implementation### import acos\_client as acos c = acos.Client(‘server’, acos.AXAPI\_21, ‘adminuser’, ‘adminpass’) c.slb.aflex.upload(name=“C:/temp/1.file”,aflex=“pycreatedAflex”) ####END Python implementation###
