Http to https without redirecting to client.

Are you trying to make http to https redirection?

Not sure how this works, as I haven't used the "virtual" command in an iRule and really have no idea how it is handled internally, but give the following iRule a try. Apply this iRule to a non-http virtual server and create a second virtual server named VS_WITH_HTTPS (or anything you want to name it, really) and test it out.

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
  virtual VS_WITH_HTTPS
}

I'm trying to understand the use case for this.

You want the F5 to handle the Encryption of the service to a back end server. But want the connection incoming on open HTTP?

Can you share your current VIP configuration ?

Technically you'd need a server SSL profile, with a key/cert combo to the back end server. Unsure on how that would behave as I've never actually had to do it....

Use case:

client----------->f5------------->server https ^ https | http | | Proxy

1) Client contact server which is https. 2) It goes through my proxy. 3) client to f5 will be https, f5 <----> proxy is http. 4) Later i need to rewrite http to https to send traffic to server but redirecting will not help here because again client browser starts from step 1, there will be loop.

I you need any more information please let me know.

Can someone please help me on this setup?
