It does not work when applied to a HTTPS enabled VIP. Is there something else I need to do to when using HTTPS?

 

what does the not-working mean? is connection reset?

 

by the way, you know HTTP::header does not change display url in browser, don't you?

    1) www. is not explicitly removed from the display URL in the browser when the session is HTTPS. 2) HTTP::header replace Host is functional with HTTP, not HTTPS.
