Hi Blue_whale, this iRule looks at the URI of a request, and if it contains that string, it will then rewrite the URI via the string map command to the non-ssl request.
Blue_whaleJRahm thanks a lot for your response ....
But why do we actually need this type of irule . What are we trying to achive in the above irule ? In which scenario we actually need this irule ?

I can't speak to your business requirements for that, but I will say that it's rare to redirect a secured URL to an insecure one. It could be that was created for a specific use case to force a login or interrogate differently, but without greater context from your end I couldn't say.
