Hi Anish,

You could either check the Referer header on the www.xyz.com.xx virtual server. Or you could append the original host and URI to the redirect as a query string parameter:


when HTTP_REQUEST {
    Redirect all requests to a new URL with the host appended to the redirect
    If there is no query string already append the url parameter to the path with a ?
   if {[HTTP::query] eq ""}{
      HTTP::redirect "http://www.xyz.com.xx[HTTP::uri]?url=[HTTP::host][URI::encode [HTTP::uri]]"
   } else {
       There was a query string already so append the url parameter to the existing query string with a &
      HTTP::redirect "http://www.xyz.com.xx[HTTP::uri]&url=[HTTP::host][URI::encode [HTTP::uri]]"
   }
}
