Do you want to redirect traffic on port 443 from http to https or you want to redirect http (port 80) to https (port 443) ?
And my second question is where does the redirection take place ? Client or server side ?

Thanks for your reply Thomas.
I want to redirect the traffic on port 443 from http to https. Client side redirection will be fine.
Let me explain it more detail.
-
SiteA (www.site.com) ---> App Server A (https://api.example.com/service/*)
-
Site A gets the schema location from App Server A and try to connect to Schmea location : http://api.example.com:443/services (note it's http not https and the port number is 443)

F5 LTM ends this call with empty reply.
I hope if we redirected this http://api.example.com:443/services/* to https://api.example.com:443/services it'll be fine.

You can't do that even in an iRule because CLIENTSSL_HANDSHAKE event is before HTTP_REQUEST in iRule events order.
Why do you want to use the same port for http and https traffic ?
