http urls in content rewrite to https

Hi I have an multiple web servers that I'm load balancing using an irule for pool selection based on url entered in the browser and offloading SSL to the F5. The first part (HTTP_REQUEST) looks fine...
application delivery
devops
iRules
LTM
management

My next question would then be where and how does it break?

 

The HTTP request event simply allows requests to myurl.domain.com ONLY, and sends to a pool and disables the stream profile. Coincidentally, since you're not using any other pool commands, you're better off just assigning the pool to the VIP and not doing it the iRule.

 

The HTTP response is rewriting any instance of "http://" in the response payload with "https://". You may also experience http:// URLs in an HTTP redirect Location header. So really the best next step is to understand where and how the application/iRule is failing.
