Mar 23, 2012URI rewrite and pool with port redirection
I am really new to iRules and am hoping you experts can assist. We have a URL http://myurl that needs to go to two load-balanced packend URLs on different ports:
https://server1:8443/path/n...

Mar 10, 2011We've finally determined that the bad (HTTP vs HTTPS) url's are contained within web pages vs. header. SAP logic is definitely generating absolute url's and that's the root cause.
SAP has recommended that we switch our protocol to be all HTTPS vs. HTTPS to the client and HTTP internally within our network. We don't want to do that as there isn't any reason that we need to run HTTPS internally.
Found a wonderful F5 resource who took the time to analyze the traffic and find all of the "where and when" url's were absolute. Then built configuration within the F5 configuration to look for specific patterns and when found change to HTTPS
We are quite surprised that this is not spoken of often within BLOGS / FORUMS ETC. as to date, we hadn't been able to find anyone else reporting of the same issue and responses to their solutions.
Thank you

It is the exact same behavior except rather then the node or member going offline, I removed the monitoring altogether. The node is still up and functioning but no monitoring is enabled and the traffic continues. I should also note that I am on 10.2.2 VE.
