Solution for HTTP redirect

I have a ticket open with F5 on this issue C262894.

 

 

I have a standard VIP setup with Proxy SSL. The issue is that there is a certain link within this site that needs to be accessed HTTP based (to another VIP) and the F5 is redirecting to HTTPS.

 

Inside dump shows http redirect but external dump show https redirect.

 

 

The configuration on PROXY has to have "we-write redirect" all because the web server sends redirects on initial hit to web page.

 

 

Any suggestions?

    Re-write redirect needs to be set to "matching".

     

     

    If you have it set to "All", even redirects to other sites will be re-written to HTTPS, as you are seeing.

    I orginally attempted this and it does not work. When I enable matching I can't even reach the home page. The site normally redirects users to home page. Do you have any other suggestions that may help?
