So you want to have SSL on the clientside, but decrypt on the backend?
If so, this is called SSL offload and is a very easy thing to do by having a clientside SSL profile but not putting one on the serverside.
The only thing to watch out for are embedded URL references in your HTML code, or Location headers that don't include https:// schema.

Are the URL references relative (ie. /path/file.html) or definitive (eg. http://host.com/path/file.html)? If it's the latter, you will need a stream profile similar to what has been described in this devcentral post:
