Possible to redirect from HTTPS to HTTP from app behind F5?

I have a basic ASP.NET application that sits behind an F5 load-balancer.

 

 

Incoming SSL requests (over HTTPS) terminate at the load-balancer and all internal communication between the F5 and my application servers is non-secure (over HTTP).

 

 

 

When a non-secure request/post comes in, my app is able to Response.Redirect("https://...") to a secure URL with no problems. However, the other direction appears to be impossible - I cannot redirect from HTTPS to HTTP. The URL remains HTTPS and does not change. Could the F5 be preventing this?

 

 

 

Is there any special configuration necessary to let this happen?

    Bump. Could this be related to the Rewrite Redirects setting?
