Sorry, I just realized the protocol wasn't prepended to the Location header. So the browser interprets it as a local URI which it appends to the requested protocol, host and URI. If you use this it should work: 

when HTTP_REQUEST {
   set uri [HTTP::uri]
   set host [HTTP::host]
}

when HTTP_RESPONSE {
   log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: URI: $uri, status: [HTTP::status], Location: [HTTP::header "Location"]"
   if { [HTTP::is_redirect] and [HTTP::header "Location"] starts_with "http://www.backendserver.com"}  {
      HTTP::header replace "Location" "https://$host$uri"
      log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: Rewriting Location to https://$host$uri"
   }
}
