Is this possible with an iRule?

if the URL contains the components in the second column below, the URL up to and including the 2nd column's keyword gets rewritten to be the third column. So     http://old.abc.com/OA_HTML/some...
application delivery

As long as you are having the BIG-IP do the SSL termination for your backend servers, then there shouldn't be a problem. the protocol portion of the URL isn't passed as part of the HTTP request, it is determined by how the web servers is configured on the given port.

 

 

For the response, it's just string replacement, so there shouldn't be a problem. BTW, for the response, you could probably get away with using a Stream profile and a simple string replacement. Since it is a basic string map on the response ("http://new.web.com:10125" to "https://old.abc.com") you could specify those values in your stream profile parameter.
