Q: Timeout issues over https using F5 BigIP.

A: This might be caused by the default BigIP configuration setting 
which uses "Rewrite Matching Only" for URI requests.
Change it to "Rewrite All" shall fix the timeout problem.

"Rewrite All" URI setting forces the BigIP to re-establish connections
between the back-end system and client, in the event of connections being
terminated, thus eliminating the timeouts.
