If i have an http vip with the generic http redirect to a https vip would it redirect a slowlaris dos attack given it is not a complete and valid http request:
when HTTP_REQUEST { HTTP::redirect https://[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1][HTTP::uri] }

I doubt it as the request never completes, more likely i imagine is that the connecting client gets a tcp reset after the max header size has filled up
