redirecting from HTTPS to HTTP issue !!!!

Hi Experts, I faced abnormal behavior, I've 2 virtual servers HTTP and HTTPS for the same VIP when I access the backend server using http (e.g http://.com/) everything goes well and redirect me to login page properly (e.g http://.com/login). BUT, when I access it using https (e.g https://.com/ ) it directs me to login page but as http (e.g http://.com/login), which is abnormal behavior to me where there is no any iRule applied. so waht could be the issue?

 

Thnx In Advance.

    It sounds like your backend server may sending a redirect with a location header containing http rather than https. The 'http' profile has an option, 'rewrite redirects' that may fix this issue for you.

    the issue resolved after redirect the traffic from HTTP to HTTPS using sys_https_redirect irule, i think it was backend server behavior issue.
