    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.

The protocol isn't included in an HTTP request, so I'm not sure HTTP::url would make sense. Maybe something like SSL::enabled returning 1 if a handshake with a non-null cipher would make sense. I'll open a request for enhancement case and reply here with the RFE ID.
