Hi Kai

 

Thank you for your answer.

 

I've some question about this problem which still can't solve when perform irule HTTPS-redirect.

 

1.) From this condition, How can it can't fix with redirect? when client request HTTP form base post, it still redirect to HTTP normally, didn't it? -- Embeded HTML FORMS with based POST-backs. (can't be fixed with redirects)

 

2.) From these condition, Application server (server-side) will still receive HTTP traffic (just like when not perform SSL-offload). So how this condition may break application? -- Validate the HTTP referer so that the previous request was comming from a specific sub-site (may break your application) -- Trigger JScript to read and postback the location bar. (may break your application)

 

Thank you very much
