    When I take capture I see the following:

    GET /product/avail.txt HTTP/1.1
Host: cdn.f5.com
User-Agent: BIG-IP Edge Client
Connection: Close
Cache-Control: no-cache

HTTP/1.0 302 Redirect
Server: GoAhead-Webs
Date: Tue Jan 15 17:19:07 2019
Pragma: no-cache
Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store
Content-Type: text/html
Location: http://10.10.10.254:9997/user/guest_tou.asp?origurl=http%3a%2f%2fcdn%2ef5%2ecom%2fproduct%2favail%2etxt&langname=en%5fUS&logo=%2flogo%5f1

    So, I get a redirect but I don't see edge client sending request to the redirect site in the capture. Though, I see the client is trying to do SSL handshake to some Public IP.

    When I try to open the redirect page in my browser, I notice though it is HTTP I get SSL handshkae warning since, it is presenting a cert that is not trusted and once I accept i get the captive portal page.
