HTTP redirect working - now trying to setup HTTPS redirect

what kunjan said is the irule should be usable for both http and https virtual server. what you need on https virtual server is clientssl profile (to decrypt) and serverssl profile (to re-encrypt in case serer is https).

e.g.

 configuration

root@(ve11c)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list ltm virtual bar*
ltm virtual bar80 {
    destination 172.28.24.10:80
    ip-protocol tcp
    mask 255.255.255.255
    pool foo
    profiles {
        http { }
        tcp { }
    }
    rules {
        qux
    }
    source 0.0.0.0/0
    source-address-translation {
        type automap
    }
    vs-index 11
}
ltm virtual bar443 {
    destination 172.28.24.10:443
    ip-protocol tcp
    mask 255.255.255.255
    pool foo
    profiles {
        clientssl {
            context clientside
        }
        http { }
        tcp { }
    }
    rules {
        qux
    }
    source 0.0.0.0/0
    source-address-translation {
        type automap
    }
    vs-index 10
}
root@(ve11c)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list ltm pool foo
ltm pool foo {
    members {
        200.200.200.101:80 {
            address 200.200.200.101
        }
    }
}
root@(ve11c)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list ltm rule qux
ltm rule qux {
    when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::host] equals "myfriendlyurl.com" } {
    HTTP::redirect "https://myunfriendlyurl.com[HTTP::uri]"
  }
}
}
