Fields available for lbs decision of https encrpted traffic

Without terminating you are pretty much stuck with TCP headers. You can't invoke the HTTP_REQUEST event in an iRule to do any decision making on an http element if you don't use an http profile, which requires that you decrypt first. So there's no way to use the hostname either ([HTTP::host] being the operator that you would need).

 

 

So basically, without terminating SSL you only have the layer 4 info to make a decision with.
