client redirection from http to https

Hi,

 

 

I've the following problem to solve :

 

 

Client must come in HTTPS to the BIG-IP and BIG-IP -> Server in HTTP. My Virt server is in HTTPS.

 

We would like that any client coming with http://www.acb.com that the BIG-IP respond to the client to uses https://www.abc.com

 

 

Something like that :

 

 

If http_request = http://www.abc.com

 

then HTTP response = https://www.abc.com

 

 

Somebody could help me to translate that in an Irules...?

 

 

Thanks a lot in advance.

    Hi,

    You can do something like this: 

     
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
   HTTP::redirect https://[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1][HTTP::uri] 
 }

    Also, there's a freebie tool for generating redirection iRules of all sorts here:
