Hi, the code may work (I removed the semi-colon in if condition)

 

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "www.xyz.com.au" } {     
        HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://www.xyz.com";         
    }     
}

But as ssl is negotiated before the http request is sent by the browser, you will have an ssl error due to ssl mismatch before redirect.

 

You must have a certificate for to prevent ssl error. You can then configure SNI to send right certificate based on server name extension.
