Redirect HTTP to HTTPS

This has been asked often and multiple threads are there.

Offloading SSL traffic causes improper redirects or links to HTTP

The solution was to update the http response headers, something like below.

when HTTP_RESPONSE {
    if { ( [HTTP::header exists Location] ) and ( [HTTP::header Location] contains "http://" ) } {
        HTTP::header replace [string map -nocase {"http://" "https://"} [HTTP::header Location]]
    }
}

Hi Phaneath,

Your problem is that your application use Absolute Path instead Relative Path.

It seems that in your application you have some uri set like that:

Examples:


instead:

Regards,

You should create a Virtual Server listen on 8080 without SSL offload and assign an irule/LTM policty to redirect all HTTP request to HTTPS request at another port ( e.g 8443).

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
HTTP::redirect "https://[HTTP::host]:8443[HTTP::uri]" 
}

Create another Virtual Server listen on another port (8443) with SSL offload and assign this irule to rewrite redirect port if has

when HTTP_RESPONSE {
 Check if server response is a redirect
if { [HTTP::header is_redirect]} {
    HTTP::header replace Location https://[string map {"http://" ""} [string map ":[TCP::remote_port]/ :8443/" [HTTP::header value Location]]]
   }
}
