Redirect and preserve HTTP referrer

Sorry... I thought you were asking a new question that wasn't related to the original post. To redirect requests from HTTP to HTTPS you can use a rule like this on the HTTP VIP:

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  
     Redirect all requests to https://123.123.org/xlWebApp/ 
    HTTP::redirect "https://123.123.org/xlWebApp/" 
 } 
 

The above example will redirect all HTTP requests to the HTTPS URL, https://123.123.org/xlWebApp/.

As far as the Referer header, I'm pretty sure the browser will set the Referer header value to the URI of the request which generated the redirect. So if the first request is to http://www.example.com/first_page.html and the client is redirected to https://www.example.com/second_page.html, the Referer in the request to https://www.example.com/second_page.html will be http://www.example.com/first_page.html. I don't think there is a way to modify what the client sets the Referer header to.
