Nimbostratusssl offloaded, traffic showing redirect to http
ssl offloaded, traffic showing redirect to http if ssl is offloaded at the LTM, if client access to the website, https://somewebsite.com it is ok. if client access to https://somewebsite.com/more it will appear as http instead, eg http://somewebsite.com/more
please advise is this a normal behaviour? or how can we ensure that traffic will still shows at https?

A pretty common problem. I'd start by enabling the Redirect Rewrite option in your HTTP profile. This will rewrite 30x redirects. If the bad URLs are in HTTP payload then you'll need to do a little extra work.
dw_888_212625Please advise what will happen after the 30x rewrite? what bad URLs are we refering to and what is needed to do?

Check if your backend server is redirecting from "/more" to "http://somewebsite.com/" thus redirecting to the http version no matter what the client has requested.
If this is the case, you have multiple options to chose from including:
- Rewrite 30x redirects as mentioned by Kevin or
- Reconfigure the redirection on the server so it redirects relatively from "/more" to "/" instead of the full http url. or
- Create a redirect vs on F5 that redirects from http to https and open port 80 on your firewall. You'll then have two redirects: first one is the one you mentioned which is done at the server level, then a second one that is performed by F5 to redirect again to https://somewebsite.com/
