https and http to http http::path redirection not working

i can see that you have clientssl and clientside ssl profiles, can you tell me what you specified?clientssl is used to decrypt https traffic. since we want to see http header, i.e. HTTP::host, and do redirection, so clientssl is required. clientside means it is configured on client-side i.e. between client and f5.

under clientside do i need to specify non-ssl connections?no. i do not think you need non-ssl.

my client is adamant that they do not want users being notified regarding a cert by the browser. do I need a cert for the 443 VS for this to work?yes, you have to import certificate and private of xxx.b.com and set them in clientssl profile.

as i am having issues redirecting http://xxx.b.com/test to http://aaa.b.com/test.each i.e. xxx.b.com and aaa.b.com, is different in ip and has own virtual server, hasn't it?

can you try this on xxx.b.com virtual server?
