Guys hi,

    Hello Bearkuma,

     

    It is maybe due to the fact that you are using the same connection.

     

    F5 system keeps in memory the old irule for existing connections... To execute the new irule version you will need to initiate a new connection.

     

    Close you browser, open a "private browsing" and try again it should not redirect.

     

    Waiting for you feedback

     

    Regards

    Hi bearkuma,

     

    this could be a connection related issue (as JTI already pointed out) or it could be a caching related issue if you've previously used a HTTP-301-Redirect (Permanent Redirect) or if HSTS (Permanent HTTP-to-HTTPS Redirect) is involved. So flush the browser cache and try again...

     

    Cheers, Kai
