Looks like yes we found the fix. We are suspecting issue with Alternate Access Mapping (AAM) configured on Sharepoint. Basically in our setup we are doing SSL offloading using LTM and doing HTTP to HTTPS redirection for HTTP requests. We found AAM configured on Sharepoint which was converting HTTP to HTTPS. This is basically not required since the redirection is done on LTM and Sharepoint should be taking care of HTTP requests only. Initial results were positive and we didnt see issue with "List" by removing HTTP to HTTPS mapping on sharepoint. The app teams are going to test it thoroughly. I will share the results once available.
