in working scenario, client is sending 1st request as POST, and server sending 302 response. And subsequent requests are GET with 304 (not modified) response from server.

The 307 status code is intended to preserve the client request, so you're iRule slightly modified might look like this:

        HTTP::respond 307 Location "https://$static::http_throttle_catURL$uri"
    }
}
