HTTPS equivalence of HTTP:host

Hi all,

 

 

I'd like to do some load-balancing with an Irule on HTTPS requests.

 

I've already done some rules for HTTP flow but what I need now is to have some security.

 

 

Is anybody can tell me how I can do the Irule below but for HTTPS requests ?

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

switch [HTTP::host] {

 

host1 {

 

pool 1

 

}

 

host2 {

 

pool 2

 

}

 

host3 {

 

pool 3

 

}

 

default {

 

pool 4

 

}

 

}

 

}

 

 

Thanks for all.

    It's the same event for both. But for https traffic you'll need to terminate the SSL connection on the F5 so it can interrogate the traffic and the iRule can do its job. If you need it re-encrypted to the server, for example, then you can do this too with a serverside ssl profile.
