    Patrik, good one. You have typo. It should be:

    if { [PROFILE::exists clientssl] == 1 } {
    set protocol "https"
} else {
    set protocol "http"
}

    I'm doing this on CLIENT_ACCEPTED. The method with CLIENTSSL_HANDSHAKE will not work because BIG-IP refuse to load it on VS without SSL profile.

Thanks Aaron, I like the CLIENTSSL_HANDSHAKE method as it will be more adaptable to all situations.

 

 

Would be nice though if there was an [HTTP::URL] command to return the entire URL that was called, then could just do something like:

 

[URI::protocol [HTTP::URL]]

 

Or, if [URI::protocol] with no argument would return the URI scheme of the current connection.
