    Updated code with corrections...

     

    when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    if { [HTTP::host] equals "zzzzzz.xyz.com" or [HTTP::host] equals "zzzzzz.xyz.com"} { 
        HTTP::redirect "https://zzzzzz.xyz.com:8888" 
    }
}

    What you want is..

     

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
   switch [HTTP::host] {
      "xxxxxx.xyz.com" -
      "yyyyyy.xyz.com" -
      "zzzzzz.xyz.com" { HTTP::redirect https://[HTTP::host]:8888[HTTP::uri] }
   }
}

    The "-" means use the action of the following condition. So all of the hosts listed will redirect to same hostname on port 8888.

Do you have SSL Client and HTTP profiles applied to your TCP/443 VIP? I know the HTTP Profile is required to read the HTTP traffic, but I'm pretty sure you'll need to decrypt it as well to be able to fire the HTTP_REQUEST Event. -Cory
