    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.

Create two Virtuals. One for HTTP one for HTTPS. Now you know whether it's HTTP or HTTPS. Apply irule for each. Looking for client profile assumes you're doing SSL birding or termination. Some virtuals may not do this but still service HTTPS traffic.
