For some reason my pool doesnt respond (no web page displayed) when I use the Standard type virtual server, but the redirect works. When I use the Performance (HTTP) type the pool responds when I go to https://server_ip but I cant use the https redirect.

    Can you post your VS config when in standard type? From tmsh, 'list ltm virtual virtualservername', where virtualservername is the name of your virtual server. Probably just a simple misconfiguration.
