CirrostratusHi John,
The iRule is going to rewrite the path before the requests are sent to the pool members. It won't affect the URLs in the response content sent to clients. So when a client clicks on a link or follows a redirect, the address bar will show whatever case the application used in its references to itself. The requested path seen by the web application will always be in lower case.
It would be quite resource intensive to try to parse and rewrite every path from response payloads (and to a lesser extent, the response headers). If you really wanted to do this, you would need to figure out a regular expression which would match the paths. You could then use a stream filter and STREAM::expression based iRule to do this.
