Apache proxy rewrite to F5

Hi,

 

I'm tring to convert the following Apache Rewrite rule to an F5 iRul but am having no luck. I think I am am on the right track but would be grateful for any assistance.

 

This is the apache rule:

 

RewriteRule ^(.*)/lmykproxy/(.*) http://subdomain.domain.com/$2 [P,L]

 

This is the iRule I have so far..

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if {[HTTP::uri] contains "lmykproxy"} {

 

log "Requested URL is [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"

 

set newuri [findstr [HTTP::uri] /lmykproxy/ 11]

 

HTTP::uri "$newuri"

 

HTTP::header replace "Host" "subdomain.domain.com"

 

log "New URL is [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"

 

}

 

}

 

 

Thanks in advance.

    Unfortunately I don't understand the original rewrite rule but I hope this will help; 

    
when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::uri] contains "lmykproxy" } {
    log local0. "Requested URL is [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"
    Added local0. above
    set newuri [findstr [HTTP::uri] /lmykproxy 10]
    Modified above so the URI contains a starting "/"
    HTTP::uri $newuri
    HTTP::header replace "Host" "subdomain.domain.com"
    I'm not sure you need "" around the domain name???
    log local0. "New URL is [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"
    Added local0. above
  }
}
