EmployeeThere's more pieces to this puzzle. Presumably you're using this iRule on an HTTP VIP to redirect traffic to an HTTPS VIP. You're saying "Location Header", so also guessing you mean a redirect.
If that's all correct, then the difference is in how the backend server responds - which redirect URL it sends back to the client. It could be that the :443 in the Internet request, however they're getting there, are informing the application that SSL offload is happening, and that's why it sends back the correct URL.
So a few additional thoughts.
-
When the LAN clients get the HTTP redirect URL, do they not go to the HTTP URL and get redirected to HTTPS? Or do they go into a redirect loop and fail?
-
Do you have any idea where the :443 is coming from? Could it be coming from the client, or another iRule on the HTTPS VIP?

You may also want to try enabling the Redirect Rewrite option in the HTTP profile. This setting enables the F5 to rewrite any HTTP URL redirects to HTTPS. Start with the All setting, and if that works, try the Matching setting.
