Hi Aaron,

 

 

We figured out the problem, and your questioning did help us sort out the issue. Thank you!

 

 

The active profile was HTTPS one, and it has Rewrite Redirect set to ALL.

 

 

We did notice a weird thing though. When we set the Rewrite Redirect to Matching, the problem I mentioned earlier got solved, but got into another issue.

 

 

The backend server is on HTTP, and when that server redirects "GET /x/y?action=abc" to "http://abc.com/x/y?action=xyz", f5 is not rewriting the the redirect, even when the setting is "Matching".

 

 

I suppose matching means, match on URL part right? So, f5 should have redirected HTTP to HTTPS .. not sure why it is not doing so.
