Hi Ahmad, I've modified the iRule a bit, this should work across all v11.x versions.

when HTTP_REQUEST {

  if { ([HTTP::host] equals "oservices.bahrain.bh") && ( [string tolower [HTTP::path]] equals "/pubportal/insurancedetailsuploadws/services/insuranceuploadimpl" ) }{
    log local0. "Client: [IP::client_addr]: Requested [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]. HTTPS redirect omitted"
  } else {
    HTTP::respond 302 location "https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"
    log local0. "Client: [IP::client_addr]: Requested [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]. Redirected to HTTPS"
    TCP::close
  }
}

Test with logging enabled: "curl -vI oservices.bahrain.bh/pubportal/InsuranceDetailsUploadWS/services/InsuranceUploadImpl"

Have taken a look at the response header - it appears that something in between modifies the request path and the "/pubportal" substring is eaten up, before the request is even routed to F5 BigIP. Do you have another proxy in between your desktop(test machine) and the F5 BigIP? < location: https://oservices.bahrain.bh/InsuranceDetailsUploadWS/services/InsuranceUploadImpl As a workaround in F5, you can further modify the iRule and replace the conditional IF statement with: if { ([HTTP::host] equals "oservices.bahrain.bh") && ( [string tolower [HTTP::path]] contains "/insurancedetailsuploadws/services/insuranceuploadimpl" ) }{
