forward URI with manipulation

Ok, you didn't mention that you needed the directory truncated if there wasn't a second slash. My previous example assumed that if there was only one directory, then it would remain.

 

 

Here's some code that should do the trick

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  set idx [string first {/} [HTTP::uri] 1]
  if { $idx != -1 } {
    set sub_uri [string range [HTTP::uri] $idx end]
  } else {
    set sub_uri {/}
  }
  ...
  HTTP::uri $sub_uri
}

 

 

This should result in the following transformations

 

 

/foo -> /

 

/foo/ -> /

 

/foo/bar -> /bar

 

/foo/bar.html -> /bar.html

 

 

 

Now, if you need to modify the response content to "re-add" your prefixes, we've covered this before. Check out my iRules entries on my blog

Check out the "modify uri and rewrite" entry. I think that has what you are looking for.

 

 

Also, with 9.2 you can use the stream profile to accomplish the same thing in a more efficient manner.
