I got following info from sol 6912:

 

 

Under Settings, set Redirect Rewrite to All, Matching, or Nodes, depending upon your configuration

 

 

For example:

 

 

* Choose All to rewrite any HTTP 301, 302, 303, 305, or 307 redirects to HTTPS

 

* Choose Matching to rewrite redirects when the path and query URI components of the request and the redirect are identical (except for the trailing slash)

 

* Choose Node to rewrite redirects when the redirect URI contains a node IP address instead of a host name, and you want the system to change it to the virtual server address

 

 

 

This means, the only option I have is to set it to ALL, but it wont work for me.

 

 

Other way would be, to set it to NONE, and have irule to rewrite http to https in case domain is hosting domain, else leave it as is.
