iRule for Visual Studio

One of our customers requires a redirect from http to https for MS Visual Studio. I setup a VS using HTTP Class which works perfectly for browsers but doesn't work for Visual Studio. MS asks if we can create a redirect for non-browser traffic. Is there a way to do this with an iRule?

    Hi!

     

    It's up to the client if it follows the redirects or not. And even if you add an SSL profile to the VIP the conenction would most likely fail as visual studio would attempt to send http requests instead of negotiating a TLS session.

     

    Have you considered configuring visual studio to use SSL directly instead?
