Terminate SSL and open TCP socket connection inside
I need to answer a socket tunnel request in the form of ssl://servername, terminate the SSL at the F5 and open a connection to the inside server on an arbitrary port over an unencrypted connection. The connection should stay open until terminated by the client. The purpose is to permit the client to make requests as needed and to receive information from the server as it may be sent.
I've tried this having the client make the request in the form of , but the connection is closed immediately by the server, presumably because no request was made.
Any hints on what to search for or where to look appreciated. I hate to complicate the issue, but this has to hit a VS that is already selecting different internal server ports based on HTTP URIs via irule.
