redirecting http to https, keeping uri

Adobe has freely admitted a bug in their 7.5 upgrade to their Adobe Connect app. If a user tries to enter a meeting using the nonsecure VIP, http://connect.company.com/somemeeting, it redirects to https://connect.company.com/somemeeting, but posts the login prior to getting it from the user, an error page is generated. So I have been asked to do the redirection at the F5. I will be setting up the ssl termination on the ltm first. So what I need is an iRule I think that will take any request sent to the http vip and send and https redirect, while maintaining the rest of the URI. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Something as easy as this could work for you - bind it to your HTTP virtual server: 

     
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
 HTTP::redirect "https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]" 
 }

    Hello all,

     

    So how would you do a redirect from https to http? You would need another virtual server that accepts request over port 443 and redirect to http. One thing to becareful about is doing a infinite loop. Can any of you assist me with this issue?

     

     

    Thanks.
