Is it possible to use an LTM Policy for sending 301 redirects?

ltm policy http2httpsredirect_301_pol {
    last-modified 2017-01-19:10:44:32
    requires { http }
    rules {
        http2httpsredirect_301_rule {
            actions {
                0 {
                    tcl
                    set-variable
                    expression "https://[getfield [HTTP::host] \":\" 1][HTTP::uri]"
                    name Redirect
                }
            }
            conditions {
                0 {
                    http-uri
                    port
                    values { 80 }
                }
            }
        }
    }
    status published
    strategy first-match
}

then the iRule is like this:

ltm rule redirect_from_local_traffic_policy_301_irule {
 Redirect from Local Traffic Policy
 to use it, create an action
 tcl set variable
   - name : Redirect
   - expression : Redirect URL

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if {([info exists "Redirect"])} {
        HTTP::respond 301 Location $Redirect
        return
    }
}
}
