Odd issue with pools and a redirect

Hi Craig,

I think you have rewrite redirects enabled on the HTTP profile associated with the VIP.

If you want to confirm what LTM gets in the server response headers you could use a debug logging iRule like this:

Also, you can make the iRule slightly more efficient by tracking the serverside SSL requirement with a variable instead of the pool name:

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST {  
  
    if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/site1" } {  
       pool "External_Site1" 
       set usessl 1 
    } else { 
       set usessl 0 
    } 
 } 
 when SERVER_CONNECTED {  
    if { $usessl } {  
       SSL::profile "External_Site1"  
    } else {  
       SSL::disable serverside  
    }  
 }
