Hi Toni,

 

 

I'm not sure it would be that easy. You probably wouldn't want to redirect the user after they make a request which the app responds to with content and the custom "HTTPS" header.

If you wanted to test this, you could either use a test LTM, LTM VE or a test VS on a production LTM unit.
