how hard can this be?

if you want to inspect and/or modify HTTPS traffic you need to decrypt it using a client SSL profile and add an HTTP profile. You can then check the host using HTTP::host, the URI using HTTP::uri, the path using HTTP::path and issue a redirect using HTTP::redirect or HTTP::respond. You can check the HTTP wiki page for details on these commands:

If you get stuck on something, post an an example of what you're trying to accomplish, what code you're testing and the symptoms of the issue. You can use a browser plugin like HttpFox for Firefox or Fiddler for IE. And you can add log statements to the iRule to see what's being executed.
