HTTP redirect to HTTPS

Hi,     Is it possible to redirect an HTTP request to HTTPS.   If the customer types the url as http://www..com then the web url should be automatically redirected as https://www..com   ...

A simple HTTP::redirect should do the job

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  HTTP::redirect "https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"
}

Just make sure you don't have this rule applied to your HTTPS virtual or you will get yourself into an infinite loop.

BTW, in the future you might want to post iRules questions to the iRules forum. iControl is our remote management API.
