Disabling SSL based on URI

Currently we have a virtual server that handles SSL traffic and send it to a pool of webservers over port 443. While ideally we would terminate SSL on the F5 and just sent HTTP traffic to the servers...

Hi Landono,

You can make use of the "SSL::disable serverside" command. Be sure to specify this command before the pool command, as shown below:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
        if { [HTTP::path] starts_with "/keyword" } {
                SSL::disable serverside
                pool pool_keyword.foo.bar.net_http
        } 
}

You can get more information on this command here: https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.ssl__disable.ashx
