rewrite uri only if necessary.

 

if you rewrite /index.html to /testing/index.html, then if this document contains links to /testing/img/logo.png, then the next request will contain /testing, and then the irule will append /testing --> wrong...

 

when rewriting path, you must look at response to be sure it does not contain the internal path in links.
