Simple iRule not working - is it my "string map" syntax?

This seems like a simple iRule, but when applied I get socket errors. Here's the rule: when HTTP_RESPONSE { if { [HTTP::is_redirect] }{ if { [HTTP::header Location] contains "PageM...

Hi,

This may be due to the quotes. You should check /var/log/ltm for a more detailled message 

 
  when HTTP_RESPONSE  {  
  if { [HTTP::is_redirect] }{  
  if { [HTTP::header "Location"] contains "PageMustBeSecure.htm" }{  
  HTTP::header replace "Location" [string map -nocase {"http://" "https://"} [HTTP::header "Location"]]  
  }  
  }  
  }

If it doesn't work try this: 

 
  when HTTP_RESPONSE  {  
  if { [HTTP::is_redirect] }{  
                log local0. "is redirect -> [HTTP::header "Location"]" 
  if { [HTTP::header "Location"] contains "PageMustBeSecure.htm" }{  
                         log local0. "redirect contains PageMustBeSecure.htm " 
  HTTP::header replace "Location" [string map -nocase {"http://" "https://"} [HTTP::header "Location"]]  
                        log local0. "new redirect is: [HTTP::header "Location"]" 
  }  
  }  
  }

and tell us the output of the /var/log/ltm file
