We use BigIP to perform SSL duties for our website.  We are
about to add a filter to force all page accesses to be sure.

The plan is to have two ports (9000 for regular requests and
11000 for secure requests).  It would work like this:
Request comes in on port 80 to BigIP.  It would send the request
to port 9000 on the tomcat.  The filter would check the scheme. 
It is not https, so it would redirect to the same URL with the
scheme of https.

BigIP would receive the redirected request on port 443.  It
would decrypt it and send it to port 11000.

I see where it has the scheme and secure parameters on the
standard connector.  I was thinking that I could use a regular
connector, but change scheme to https.  This would give my
filter what it needs and still allow BigIP to perform
decryption.

However, when I do this, requests to https (443) hang.  They
never get through.  

Any ideas?
