Hi

If I've read your post correctly, you want to change the HTTP Host header and also remove the leading /abc from the URI. If so, something like this would do it...

when HTTP_REQUEST {
	if {[HTTP::host] contains "example.com.au" } {
	if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/abc/" } {
	HTTP::uri [string range [HTTP::uri] 4 end]
	}
	HTTP::header replace Host "abc.com.au"
}
}

In your Nginx snippet, you are also returning a 404 if you browse to root (/) - do you want to have this functionality as well?

    Correct. So above rule would remove just "/abc" context path from URL but leave the application specific context path (/login)?

     

    e.g. https://example.com.au/abc/login - > https://abc.com.au/login

     

    Also, I don't want to return the default page if anyone browse to root (/).

     

    Thank you.
