HTTPS to HTTP iRule Redirection

We recently shut down the nodes on a VIP that is no longer in use, but I would like traffic to be redirected to our new VIP if customers hit the old page. An HTTP redirect iRule works perfectly fine ...

Were you offloading the SSL to the F5 on the old HTTPS VIP? Can you add some logging to the iRule

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
    if {[TCP::local_port] eq 443 } {set SSL 1} else {set SSL 0}
}

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    if {$SSL} {log local0. "Request is SSL and Host is [HTTP::host]}
    if { [HTTP::host] eq "oldpage.website.com" } { HTTP::redirect "http://website.com/newpage" } 
}
