Your virtual server will "work" if you have it configured to listen on port 443 and have pool members to send the connections to. The LTM in this case is not terminating the SSL or doing anything above layer 4.

 

If you want any HTTP redirection, then you'll need to terminate the SSL (client SSL profile) and apply an HTTP profile so the LTM will treat the application data as HTTP. Only after you do these two things will you be able to perform HTTP redirects or modify any of the HTTP (layer 7) information.

 

If you apply an HTTP profile to a virtual server without terminating SSL, it will not work because the LTM is going to attempt to treat the encrypted data as HTTP.
