uri redirect irule help

i think you may try http analyzer tool or tcpdump/ssldump to see what is going on.

HttpFox (http analyzer tool)

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/httpfox/

for tcpdump, you can run on interface 0.0 and filter by using vip and pool member ip and port

tcpdump -nni 0.0:nnn -s0 -w /var/tmp/output.pcap '(host 10.88.14.29 and port 443) or (host 10.88.5.30 or host 10.88.5.31 and port 8080)'

How to Decrypt SSL and TLS Traffic using Wireshark

by the way, this is my testing.

[root@ve10:Active] config  b virtual bar list
virtual bar {
   snat automap
   pool foo
   destination 172.28.19.252:443
   ip protocol 6
   rules myrule
   profiles {
      clientssl {
         clientside
      }
      http {}
      tcp {}
   }
}
[root@ve10:Active] config  b pool foo list
pool foo {
   members 200.200.200.101:8080 {}
}
[root@ve10:Active] config  b rule myrule list
rule myrule {
   when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if {[HTTP::uri] equals "/snoop"} {
     HTTP::uri "/snoop"
   }
   HTTP::header replace Host "[HTTP::host]:8080"

   if {[HTTP::uri] equals "/"} {
      HTTP::redirect "https://qa.domain.com/something/home"
   }
}
}
