Hi Juha,

Ask your customer to provide more detailed requirements))

In fact it could be easily done with the following iRule: 
when HTTP_REQUEST {
HTTP::header insert "∖$WSIS" "true"
HTTP::header insert "∖$WSPR" "HTTP/1.1"
HTTP::header insert "∖$WSSP" "443"
HTTP::header insert "∖$WSRA" [getfield [IP::client_addr] % 1]
HTTP::header insert "∖$WSRH" [getfield [IP::client_addr] % 1]
HTTP::header insert "∖$WSSC" "https"
}

This is an example of how to make f5 to work with IBM Websphere seamlessly.

So, this requires you to enable http profile with default setting on VS.
