NimbostratusHTTPS redirect
I am trying to do a redirect, if the end user types in https://mywebsite.com I want to redirect to https://www.mywebsite.com before the SSL handshake happens. Does anyone know if this is possible?

NimbostratusYou mentioned that you want to redirect BEFORE the SSL handshake occurs. Since the client is requesting an SSL connection, it will not pass any data until this connection is established. So, no, it is not possible to redirect before the SSL handshake, AFAIK.
As Ed said, you can terminate the SSL connection using a clinet-side SSL profile. Then in an iRule, you can redirect based in your condition.
Hope this helps to direct your efforts!
