Having trouble with mangled https:// request

 

I have a site where a large scale communication was sent to go to mysite.com instead of www.mysite.com.

 

 

It is a secure SSL site

 

 

I wrote to try to fix the lack of the "www" this works on the redirect for

 

 

"http://mysite.com"

 

 

but not for

 

 

"https://mysite.com" --- This generates an ssl cert error before the irule change the host

 

 

I believe the host must be changed before the SSL connection is established. Is there a way to do this?

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST{

 

 

if { not (HTTP::host] starts_with "www." ) } {

 

 

HTTP::redirect "https://www.[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"

 

 

}else{

 

 

HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://[getfield[HTTP::host] :1 [HTTP::uri]"

 

 

}

 

}
