https redirection with only one virtual server instance on F5

Haven't built this out in the lab but the procedure should work:

1. Create a virtual server that listens on all ports (e.g. 10.1.0.1:0)
2. Assign an http profile to the virtual server
3. Configure SSL termination on the virtual server (clientside is mandatory. serverside is optional depending on the backend pool members)
4. Create an http-to-https profile or iRule that redirects http traffic to https

Let me know if you need additional detail on any of these steps.

There are multiple example about this question on devcentral!

But the big question is : WHY?

It is so simple to create 1 http virtual server which is configured with _sys_https_redirect, and another https virtual server configure to manage legitimate traffic!

can you use the irule that F5 have for default, this irule have the nombre redirection.
