Nimbostratusno http header in my request
hi all,
quite new to iRules, but already did my first steps (some of them successful). But now I am blocked. I have to make a normal http to https replacement, but I think I have a problem before.
I have my ltm configured to do ssl offloading and forward as http. unfortunatly the forwarded request only contains the GET line, nothing more.
GET /csc/
GET /csc/

It's now at .
As there is only the "GET /csc" my Appserver can not reply with the correct http://.../csc
why is there only a GET?
Virtual server has stream profile enabled, but even with no stream profile and no iRule, I still get only "GET"
before doing something with iRules I think I should fix this, isn't it?

i understand server can response with relative url. is it a problem indeed?
HTTP location
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_location 
airwulf_27848I think its not an server issue. If I access the server via another interface than LB, I can see in the trace a complete HTTP request header:

with this, the server can answer with a 302 moved and send the correct url, Location header and href in the response
but via LB the client requests get cut to only "GET /csc" and nothing more - therefore server can not send the correct redirect url...
what I do not understand: why is the requst via LB truncated??- airwulf_27848ok, solved ;-)
stupid thing, if you have a monitor doing just a /csc its normal that you see only the GET ;-) mixed it with real client requests - Here is a good tip to avoid getting confused between real client requests and BIG-IP health monitor checks on the web server.
