You have three choices:

 

 

1) Reconfigure your server to return https references. (This is the prefered option.)

 

 

2) Setup another http VIP that redirects each request to the https VIP.

 

 

3) Write an iRule that parse the full return payload and does a string replacement. (This is the least desireable as it is the most expensive in term of resources. However this can be mitigated somewhat by using a stream profile.)

 

 

Cheers,
