Description	This article describes that while using the NGFW policy-based mode, the http-redirect option is not available: config firewall vip     edit "Test-443"         set uuid 87223950-35d0-51ed-597d-500a2243444         set type server-load-balance         set extip 10.1.1.1         set extintf "Internal"         set server-type https         set monitor "Test-HTTPS"         set ldb-method round-robin         set extport 443             config realservers                 edit 1                     set ip 10.2.2.2                     set port 443                 next                     edit 2                         set ip 10.3.3.3                         set port 443                     next                 end             next Test-FW01 (vip) # edit "Test-443" Test-FW01 (Test-443) # set http-redirect enable command parse error before 'http-redirect' Command fail. Return code -61
Scope	FortiGate.
Solution	The 'http-redirect' is to redirect traffic to the proxy. No proxy feature is available in NGFW policy mode. All traffic is handled by the IPS engine in pure flow mode.
