    solved as tcl[HTTP::uri "/ICTDesktop[HTTP::uri]"]

    ps: also tcl[HTTP::path "/ICTDesktop[HTTP::path]"] works

i was thinking something like that

 

tcl:[
set old_path [HTTP::path]
set new_path /ICTdesktop${old_path}
string map [list "$old_path" "$new_path"] [HTTP::uri]
]

ArlindT I don't believe this would work well with a string map because a string map works off of a static value being changed to another static value. What is the reason behind having to insert the "/ICTdesktop" into the path? This might be something that is better taken care of on the server side and letting the client see the path rather than attempting to hide it from the client.

    we had this request to balance:

    node1/ICTdesktop

    node2/ICTdesktop

    pool1( node1 + node2) -> policy ictservice.it/variable_path

    the requester want ictservice.it/variable_path

    to be processed as ictservice.it/ICTdesktop/variable_path

     

    you think this is better to be done Server side, or can be done also F5 side?
