HTTPS Request?

Sorry, I'm confused by all the terminology, which I'm sure is leading to the confusion for everyone else.

 

 

Basically, I want to be able to type a URL into my web browser that returns the HTML "Hello World" from my F5 image.

 

 

My Hello World iRule is listed above, and various people have told me that it should work. However, the F5 image is configured with HTTPS and it redirects all HTTP traffic to HTTPS, which means the iRule isn't getting triggered because it's only looking for HTTP (at least as I understand it, I could be wrong).

 

 

I'm trying to hit the iRule by typing in https://1.1.1.1/mytest, where 1.1.1.1 is the IP of the F5 image that I log into with Putty. If I just type https://1.1.1.1, it takes me to the F5 configuration GUI.

 

 

I don't actually know what vs_forwarding is, it was just the only virtual server from the list that didn't look like it was being used for something specific internal to the company. Is there supposed to be a virtual server set up for the F5 image as a whole that uses the IP that I use for Putty?

 

 

Thanks!
