Hi Manny,

 

 

I assume the application has hardcoded references to http:// that don't work when redirected to https://. Can you use a browser addon like HttpFox for Firefox or Fiddler2 to see where the http:// link is (or if it's not that, where the transaction(s) fail)?

 

 

If you need to rewrite http:// references to https:// in the application response content on LTM, you can use a blank stream profile and STREAM::expression iRule to do so. There are a number of examples on the wiki page:

Else for http:// references in 30x redirects, you can use the rewrite redirects option in a custom HTTP profile:
