conditional redirect (404)

Hi people, I´m trying to wrote a i-rule to redirect a 404 error based on the url. The i-rule I made is this one: when HTTP_REQUEST { set host [HTTP::host] set url [HTTP::uri] ...

Looks like the variable can't be used in another part of the irule.

have you tried the following 

  
  when HTTP_REQUEST {   
   set ::host [HTTP::host]   
   set ::url  [HTTP::uri]   
   }   
    
   when HTTP_RESPONSE {   
    if { [HTTP::status] == 404 } {   
   if { $::host contains "abcd" } {   
   HTTP::redirect "http://abcd.otherdomain.com/$::url"   
   } elseif { $::host contains "efg" } {   
   HTTP::redirect "http://efg.otherdomain.com/$::url"   
   } else {    
  HTTP::redirect "http://anotherone.com/xyz.html"   
   }   
     }     
   }

If you noticed I am changing your variable from local to global. I have not tested this, but give that a shot.
