NimbostratusHelp with redirecting http to https irule
Hi,
Just like the subject states, we have created a new virtual server on the BIG IP on https that we would like a domain name example.com to be on. What I am looking to do is have http://example.com and http://www.example.com redirect to https://example.com or https://www.example.com. I tried using the built-in irule called _sys_https_redirect but that doesn't seem to work as I get an error saying too many redirects in Chrome. If I remove the irule then the site loads fine on https://example.com but http://example.com and wwww.example.com don't work. I also tried creating the below irule manually and applying it but that gives the same result as above (too many redirects error).
when HTTP_REQUEST {
HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"
}
One thing to note is that this Virtual server is not only using a clientssl profile thus doing the SSL offloading but it is also using a serverssl profile because the backend server is also running on https using a self signed cert.
Thank you.

you do not need to change your irule.
But don't assign irule to virtual server listening port 443,
just only assign redirect irule to the virtual server listening port 80
ka1021Create a new VS for port 80 HTTP. and assign http_to_https irule to it. Let above HTTPS virtual server be remain as it is.
