Create Single Virtual Server for 443

Is there a way to create a single virtual server that responds on port 443 but will also take port 80 requests and redirect them to 443 without the need for a virtual server that is on port 80 that is set with an iRule or Policy that redirects http to https?

    Why do not you shares the same IP for VIPs with different ports? You will make SSL offload?

    We currently share the same ip. We have a virtual server on port 80 that has an iRule to redirect to https and another virtual server on port 443 that the iRule redirects to.

     

    I just thought there may be a way to do the redirection without having to create the http virtual server?

     

    We do want SSL to offload.

      Excuse my curiosity, but why use an iRule to redirect? If is it only to control the redirects, I would make a VIP on port 443 with SSL offload (to analyze data if necessary) and another VIP on port 80 with SSL on the server side to deliver the traffic on a same pool that will listen https on 443. But in some iApp templates I've seen redirects from http to https.
