Unfortunately the situation you are in can’t be fixed by an iRule.

 

 

An iRule can’t be run on encrypted traffic, so it must be unencrypted first. If the SSL Certificate is for https://www.website.com and the HTTPS Request is for http://website.com then you are going to get an SSL Certificate Error before the iRule can run and modify the URL.

 

 

iRule Event Order:

 

RULE_INIT

 

CLIENT_ACCEPTED

 

CLIENTSSL_HANDSHAKE

 

CLIENTSSL_CLIENTCERT

 

HTTP_REQUEST
