Performance (HTTP) and https redirect

Why cant the Performance (HTTP) type and the built in iRule to redirect http to https be friends? the iRule requires the use of the httpd profile but a VS of type Performance (HTTP) doesnt qualify. ...

With the standard virtual server type, the reason it stops working when you switch to HTTPS is probably due to having an HTTP profile assigned. With no SSL profiles to terminate the SSL, the LTM is not going to be seeing HTTP traffic, but it will expect to. If you remove the HTTP profile, it will work.

    Ok so if I remove the http profile, I cant use the https redirect iRule. So I either need to figure out how to redirect http --> https using the Performance profile or need to get the http profile to work with https. How can I do either of those?

    Do you have two separate virtual servers, one for 80 and one for 443? If so, the http profile should be applied to the port 80 VS and you can redirect via iRule to the 443 VS. No HTTP profile needs applied to your 443 VS.
