Thanks Kevin,

And, can I understand that this answer means that there is no
such capability in the recent Ironic?

At present, my mission is to simply to check whether there is a
capability. Based on its result, I think the handling later.
I might be make something, or replace by other ways, or so on.

Best Regards,
