Hi,

 

 

Can you explain what you'd like the client to see in the address bar for the protocol (http versus https) along with what requests/responses should be sent to the pool members? The part I'm not sure about is the rewriting of the URL back to the client.

 

 

In general, you can issue a redirect from an iRule which will cause the browser to update the address bar with the redirect location and make a request to the new location. You can rewrite the application's response content using a stream profile and iRule. You can rewrite the application's response headers (like the Location header) using an iRule or an HTTP profile.
