https redirect without creating an http virtual server

This will probably show significant ignorance but can't you just select the checkbox "Non-SSL Connections " (see advanced view) on the clientSSL profile you have configured and attached to the VIP listening for the HTTPS traffic. Of course if this cert is a starcert used by a bunch of VIPs it will add this ability to all VIPs so you may not want this.

 

 

I haven't actually done because i only learned about it after I setup the very few instances we bother with this.
