redirect 8080 to 8443

If you'd like to have a VS defined on port 8080 and send an HTTP redirect to the https VIP on port 8443, you can use an HTTP class (in 9.4+) or an iRule. The class action would be redirect to "https://1.1.1.1:8443" where 1.1.1.1:8443 is the HTTPS VS. For an iRule, you'd add this as:

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  
     Redirect all requests 
    HTTP::redirect "https://1.1.1.1:8443" 
 } 
 

On the 8443 VS, you'd add a client SSL profile and define the pool members on port 80. LTM will do destination port translation as long as you leave port translation at its default setting of enabled.

Can you clarify what you want to do in terms of ensuring the URI always starts with /abc-test/? What do you want to happen if a client makes a request for a URI which doesn't start with this string?
