Because the virtual server is not configured with any SSL profiles, you will not be able to inspect the traffic as the F5 cannot decrypt it.

 

This should work if you add a client and server ssl profile (ssl bridging) to the virtual server. Once that is in place, the F5 can decrypt the traffic, and your iRule should work.
