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.

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.
