Having this capability would also solve a long-standing itch for myself. We have some authenticated services (via Basic Auth and other means) which signal an authentication failure via a 403 status. We want to throttle and finally block IPs which cause too many authentication failures. Stick tables would be great for that as long as we could store the response status to use it in subsequent requests. I think, right now, we could build a crutch with `http-response sc-inc-gpc0` but having real http-response track-sc actions would make thing much easier and cleaner. As such, I'm all in favor of this :) Regards, Holger
