Block Source IP using a blocklist hosted on a webserver

Hi,

I think this should work to strip off the first directory for URIs starting with /foo/. HTTP::path will allow you to rewrite the path as opposed to HTTP::redirect which sends a 302 redirect and updates the URL the client sees.

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 Check the HTTP path with wildcards
switch -glob -- [HTTP::path] {
"/foo/*" {
 Remove /foo from the path by skipping one character and matching after the next /
HTTP::path [findstr [HTTP::path] / 1]
}
}
}

just in case you want redirection.

}

   when HTTP_REQUEST {
        if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/foo" } {
                HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host][string map {"/foo" ""} [HTTP::uri]]"
        }
}
}
