Are we missing some configuration in the VS? Must it be configured as an Explicit HTTP proxy applying the http-explicit profile? Must it be configured on the contrary, with an http-transparent profile?

if you use http profile, i understand you have to disable the profile when getting connect method. also, layer 7 persistence profile may not work when the profile is disabled.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::method] eq "CONNECT" } {
    HTTP::disable
  }
}

anyway, since you are load balancing web proxy, http-transparent profile may be a better choice.
