    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.

Hi!

Old post, but in case someone else finds it here's how I solved it:

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

Might not be 100% reliable if you disable ssl profiles in your irules but otherwise it should work fine.
