OK I see. There seems to be a confusion about the meaning of "redirect" here, which I see often here at my workplace as well. :-(
When we say "redirect", it usually means "HTTP redirect" in the context of using HTTP protocol directives. In your case, you probably mean to "pass/forward traffic from F5 to a backend application server", and what you need, as far as F5 is concerned, is really SSL-Offloading.
You will need to remove the irule from the virtual server.
You will most likely also need to configure "Source Address Translation" to "SNAT automap".
