SSL Offload - problem with drop down boxes in CSS style sheets

We have recently implemented SSL offload on a BIP-IP 10.2.3 box.

 

We have an iRule that does a simple HTTP->HTTPS redirection to our web application.

 

The redirection and client side SSL initaites correctly, but we have issues with drop box functionality not working within certain frames using css stylesheets.

 

Has anyone had similar problems and any recommendation please ?

    Hi Manny,

     

     

    I assume the application has hardcoded references to http:// that don't work when redirected to https://. Can you use a browser addon like HttpFox for Firefox or Fiddler2 to see where the http:// link is (or if it's not that, where the transaction(s) fail)?

     

     

    If you need to rewrite http:// references to https:// in the application response content on LTM, you can use a blank stream profile and STREAM::expression iRule to do so. There are a number of examples on the wiki page:

     

    https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.STREAM__expression.ashx

     

     

    Else for http:// references in 30x redirects, you can use the rewrite redirects option in a custom HTTP profile:
