- hooleylistCirrostratusHi Roman,
- Roman_80473NimbostratusGot it, thank you
Is there a way to find host protocol inside HTTP_REQUEST event in iRule? I can get host ([HTTP::host] ) and uri ([HTTP::uri]), but not sure about protocol.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks, Roman
You can't tell from just the HTTP headers or payload whether the request was sent via SSL. You can either assume SSL based on the virtual server port [TCP::local_port] or use an iRule to test whether a cipher was used:

Thank you for your reply. Should I use both approaches to determine for sure whether SSL is used?
if TCP::local_port value is 443 AND if {not ([catch {SSL::cipher version} result]) && $result ne "none"}
protocol = "https"
Thanks, Roman
You don't need to check the port if you use this:
if {not ([catch {SSL::cipher version} result]) && $result ne "none"}
