Change path

I have a URL where I need to alter the path, to eliminate the SSL in or w/o caring what comes afterSSL/. I thought it would fairly simple, but I can't get it to work. Thanks.

I think the offset for the string range needs to be 4 instead of 3 as /ssl is 4 characters. Can you try testing with some additional logging? 

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: [HTTP::method] request to [virtual name]\
    [IP::local_addr]:[TCP::local_port] [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"
  set uri [tolower [HTTP::uri]]
  if { $uri starts_with "/ssl/" } {
    log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: URI starts with /ssl/,\
      updating URI to [string range [HTTP::uri] [expr {[string first /ssl/ $uri] + 4}] end]"
    HTTP::uri [string range [HTTP::uri] [expr {[string first /ssl/ $uri] + 4}] end]
  } 
}
