In an SSL offload deployment, which rewrite policy command will modify all URLs in the HTTP response body from http:// to https://?

• A. > add rewrite action Act1 replace_all "HTTP.RES.BODY(200000)" "\"http://\"" - pattern "https://"
• B. > add rewrite action Act1 replace_all "HTTP.RES.BODY(200000)" "\"http:\"" - pattern "\\https://\\"
• C. > add rewrite action Act1 replace_all "HTTP.RES.BODY(200000)" "\"https //\"" - pattern "http://"
• D. > add rewrite action Act1 replace_all "HTTP.RES.BODY(200000)" "\"https:\"" - pattern "http://"

Answer: (C)

In an SSL offload scenario, you often want to rewrite the HTTP response so that every occurrence of http:// in links becomes https://, forcing secure links in the client’s browser. The rewrite action replace_all operates on a chosen data stream (here the HTTP response body) and uses two string literals: the exact text to find and the text to replace it with. To convert all http URLs to https, you must search for the literal http:// and replace it with https://. The command that does this targets the response body and uses the quoted search string "\"http://\"" with the replacement "https://" after the pattern specifier. That exact pairing ensures every http:// in the body is swapped to https://, enabling secure navigation without changing other content. The other options fail because they search for incorrect substrings (for example, http: without the slashes, or http // with a space) or propose an incorrect replacement (such as https: without the full //), which would not correctly convert the URLs in the body.

To convert all http URLs to https, you must search for the literal http:// and replace it with https://. The command that does this targets the response body and uses the quoted search string ""http://"" with the replacement "https://" after the pattern specifier. That exact pairing ensures every http:// in the body is swapped to https://, enabling secure navigation without changing other content.

The other options fail because they search for incorrect substrings (for example, http: without the slashes, or http // with a space) or propose an incorrect replacement (such as https: without the full //), which would not correctly convert the URLs in the body.
