examining the "http://" portion of a url

Hi!   I need help to learn how to examine the "http://" or "https://" part of a url in an http_request. I know it's not [HTTP::host] or [HTTP::uri]. Surely there must be a method for doing this? ...

Hi Tom,

 

 

Katherine had said that she was using a client SSL profile which was configured to allow non-SSL requests (which I'd question, but...). The client SSL profile would be enabled (though not always used for decryption) and SSL::cipher could be used.

 

 

I don't think it would be a good idea to add a client SSL profile unless the VIP is going to be used for SSL decryption. And in general, I don't like the idea of allowing non-SSL traffic to an SSL enabled VIP.
