F5 Vip handle http and https traffic

F5 : I have a VIP that is configured to host public website . I got a certs defined for and installed on the F5 server. I have configured SSL client profile on the vip, on the web server nodes the site is hosted at pot 80 and has host header . Now the question is when user hits it translates to https://www.a.com which is good, but how to handle if use hits http://a.com. Can the same VIP handle http://a.com and translate to https. Some of the inbuilt http style sheets are not loaded when I hit https site as they are hard coded in the code in legacy web site. I can update the urls to https, but that would require recompile. Wanted to check the options I have. Any help is appreciated.
