Redirect to https fails

I am redirecting https to https from a now defunct webserver to a newer one.

 

 

My rule is:

 

 

redirect to "https://spp.abc.def.com/%u"

 

 

The redirect fails. Anyone know why this fails or how I can get around it? There is no proxy for this but it is not trying to examine packets or anything.

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

Kevin

    I think I figured it out..

     

     

    I cannot redirect https traffic because without a proxy the BIG-IP cannot look into encrypted traffic to make a redirect decision.
