Nimbostratusclient ssl
I have an https virtual server with a clientssl profile. When connecting to the virtual server the client gets a popup message "This page contains both secure and non secure items. Do you wish to display the non secure items?" Yes/No/Cancel
Instead of rewriting the web page to use relative links instead of explicit... how would I implement an iRule that changed every href from http to https? Any help is appreciated.

- There are several ways you can modify the content of the response payload. One of the more optimal ways is to use the "regexp" command with the "-indices" option to return indices of all instances of a searched for string in the payload and then use the "HTTP::payload replace" command to replace those values with the new string.
Here's a blog post that I did that covers a forum post on this topic:

BTW, now that I think about it you might want to keep track of the total lenght change on update the "Content-Length" HTTP Response header with the correct value.

Brian_Gupta_115For some reason I thought that using the stream profile for this was considered more optimal than regex? (I am getting near the point where I want to implement a rule similar to this)..
Thanks,
Brian- Brandorr is correct. Using the STREAM module is better in many cases since it does not require buffering the entire response.
- That's what the http response rechunk profile option is for. Of course, it only works if chunking is enabled.
