Hi Chris,

a SIDEBAND connection does not have a build-in SSL support.

You have to point your SIDEBAND connection to a (helper) HTTP Virtual Server (e.g. HTTP:8888) that has an Server_SSL_Profile applied and finally points to a HTTPS:443 pool/node (aka. the https://GoogleSite).

Then change the syntax of your iRule to...

set conn [connect -timeout 1000 -idle 30 YOUR_VIRTUAL_NAME] 
send -timeout 1000 -status send_status $conn $recaptcha_verify_request

Cheers, Kai
