irule redirect to new site for http and https traffic

I need to create an irule to redirect traffic to a new site for both http and https. My current rule is only working for http traffic, could use a hand on this as I don't have much experience with...

​Hi NAG,  thank you for the quick response.  I should have mentioned that there are separate virtual servers for 80 and 443 and the rule had been applied to each VS separately.

 

I left original irule attached to the port 80 vs as it was working as desired, I've applied your recommended permanent redirect to the 443 VS and attempted a few changes but the redirect does not appear to be firing, I'm going to set up logging to see what is causing this behavior.

On the HTTPS VS, are you terminating the client side SSL connection on F5 or is it between Client and the back-end pool member ?

 

For F5 to parse HTTP traffic, you should terminate client side SSL connection on F5.

 

May be you are are aware of this but I just want to make sure you have looked it as well.
