Hi,

 

 

That's not a dumb question at all--we had a recent discussion about this topic in this post:

If the VIP you're using the iRule is only used for HTTP you could hardcode it to http://. If it could be used on an http or https VIP, you could either check TCP::local_port for 80 or 443, check [PROFILE::exists clientssl]==1 to see if a client SSL profile is configured on the VIP, or use SSL::cipher to check if the connection was encrypted.
