Odd handling of a redirect?
Background
BIG-IP 9.4.8 Build 355.0 Final
This is an SSL termination config. The virtual server at https:// resolves correctly to http://:7003 (single node in the pool).
No iRules configured
An http-wan-optimized-compress-caching profile (Parent) profile with all default settings except "Redirect Rewrite" set to "All" (same result if I use "Matching")
Symptom
A link on the resulting page sends me to https://:80 which fails as expected. I've not run across this behavior before (51 virtual servers on this LTM alone). Have I just been lucky? I don't have a long history with the BigIP LTM.
Setting Redirect Rewrite to "None" sends to http:// (no SSL).
The javascript behind the page link says "window.open('/path',_self);"
