That's because your iRUle is simply replacing http:// with https://. My more generic one that I usually implement uses the host: header to generate the redirect. e.g. (No checking, so probably some typos in here) 


  when HTTP_REQUEST {
 
    Check if Host header value has a length
   if {[string length [HTTP::host]]}{
 
       Redirect to the requested host and URI (minus the port if specified)
      log local0. "ssl-redirect-301 https://[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1][HTTP::uri]"
      HTTP::respond 301 Location https://[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1][HTTP::uri]
 
   } else {
 
       Redirect to VIP's IP address
      log local0. "ssl-redirect-301 https://[IP::local_addr][HTTP::uri]"
     HTTP::respond 301 Location https://[IP::local_addr][HTTP::uri]
   }
}
