You can capture the protocol in the HTTP::header on the Response and change it.

Try this and let me know if it works for you.

 when HTTP_RESPONSE { if { [ HTTP::is_redirect] and [URI::protocol [HTTP::header "Location" ]] eq "http" } { set path [findstr [HTTP::header "Location" ] "//" 2 ] HTTP::header replace "Location" "https://$path" } }

I really needed this and it works like a charm!

I like to fix such things on the F5, instead of educating application developpers. 😉
