Proxy Irule redirect for both http and https to external URL

Need some help from experts for this:

 

 

Redirect current VIP HTTP/HTTPS to external URL both HTTP/HTTPS

 

VIP: 77.X.X.240:80 and 77.X.X.240:443

 

source_url www_abc_com

 

destination_url www_xyz_com

 

I managed to test out iRULE for http redirection. I am still not very clear on how to redirect https.

 

 

Here's my current config:

 

 

rule redirect_http {

 

if ( http_host starts_with www_abc_com) {

 

redirect to

 

}

 

Associate redirect_http to my virtual server 77.X.X.240:80

 

}

 

 

rule redirect_https {

 

if (http_host starts_with www_abc_com) {

 

redirect to https://www.xyz.com

 

}

 

}

 

Associate redirect_https to my virtual server 77.X.X.240:443

 

 

PROBLEM: HTTPS is not redirecting

 

 

There are some posts stating it's required to have SSL proxy.

 

 

proxy 77.X.X.240:443 unit 1 {

 

target virtual 127.0.0.3:http

 

clientssl enable

 

clientssl key abc.com.key

 

clientssl cert abc.com.crt }

 

 

Does this mean I have to delete the current 77.X.X.240:443 in order for me to creat proxy SSL ?

 

 

Do I need to associate redirect_https rule to my virtual loopback (127.0.0.3:http) in order to be redirected?

 

 

Greatly appreciate your help.
