traffic script rules

[pro34log]

Is it possible for a traffic script rule to make a call to a service that provides back formatted XML and parse the string for information? Or is there a way to make cli calls to change active nodes in a pool.

http.request can fire a outgoing request

you can also use the cli from trafficscript, but i would rather create s.th. like a "avoid node" part in trafficscript.

what do you want to achieve?

as Jochen stated, http.request() can be used, and the response, if XML can be parsed with the xml.xpath.matchNodeCount() and xml.xpath.matchNodeSet() traffic script commands...
