NimbostratusKicked out of SSL on a 404 error
I'm finding that during an https connection if I receive a 404 not found, IE 6 will reset the connection which then kicks me into the non-ssl virtual. Any thoughts on best way to accommodate that so I stay under https session but continue to process rest of page?

I'd guess that the web application might be sending a redirect to a custom, non-HTTPS 404 page. If this is the case, you could try using rewrite redirects on your HTTP profile.
To confirm this you can check the server's response in a tcpdump or using a clientside tool like LiveHTTPheaders or HTTPwatch.
For more info on rewriting redirects, see the Configuration Guide's 'Rewriting an HTTP redirection' section:

Otto_Schmedlap_Yes the server was sending a redirect to non ssl URL. Thanks for the help and reference to the HTTP headers tool as that is what I used to determine the response sent.
STEPS USED TO CORRECT:
In BIGIP Configuration:
1) create new profile and set Setting->Redirect Rewrite=All
2) on Virtual Server entry set Configuration->HTTP Profile=.
3) press Update button
Done.
