Nimbostratushttp response rewrite of url
I have a BigIP box that is loadbalancing two servers in a pool. A user will type in ecc.empireblue.com, and then is redirected to
https://smeeccweb01/Citrix/MetaFrame/default/default.aspx
...
First of all, I didn't know that could be done. How can a browser issue a HTTP request over port 80 and then receive the response as SSL? The encryption is part of the connection negotiation.
Or do you have a custom application that handles the request/responses itself? I'm still not sure how this would work without a HTTP redirect.
With that being said, the only way to have the BIG-IP modify headers in SSL traffic is if the BIG-IP is terminating that SSL connection. Otherwise the content is just a bunch of scrambled bits to the BIG-IP.
