Can you use a browser plugin like HttpFox for Firefox or Fiddler for IE to see what's actually happening? Can you try testing a rule like this: 

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  
    log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::local_port]: New [HTTP::method] to [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]" 
  
    if {[HTTP::path] eq "/"}{ 
  
       log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::local_port]: Redirecting to https://[HTTP::host]/abc/xyz/login.do" 
       HTTP::redirect "https://[HTTP::host]/abc/xyz/login.do" 
    } 
 }

It might also be an issue where the app is redirecting to http://, gets redirected from the HTTP VIP to HTTPS, and then gets redirected again to HTTP by the app. If this is happening, you might try creating a custom HTTP profile with rewrite redirects enabled and adding it to your HTTPS VIP.
