F5 replace string from "http" to "https" in jar files

Yes, the stream profile configuration of a source of http:// and a target of https:// dictates that LTM will replace http:// with https:// in all request and response payloads. To avoid this issue, you can selectively enable the stream filter using STREAM::enable/disable in an iRule. The STREAM::expression wiki page has some examples. A safe bet would be to restrict the rewriting to responses only with a response content-type of text:

http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/stream__expression

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    Disable the stream filter for all requests
   STREAM::disable
}
when HTTP_RESPONSE {

    Check if response type is text
   if {[HTTP::header value Content-Type] contains "text"}{

       Replace http:// with https://
      STREAM::expression "@http://@https://@"

       Enable the stream filter for this response only
      STREAM::enable
   }
}
