sorry i overlooked the http://server1.abc.com:8060 part.

 

in general, if you want to change url in browser, you have to use HTTP::redirect (or HTTP::respond). HTTP::redirect will send user response asking user to send request to a new url. if the new url is on different port (e.g. 8060), you need another virtual server listening on that port (to accept the new request).

 

when sending request to pool member, host header and uri can be changed using HTTP::header and HTTP::uri commands respectively.

 

hope this helps.
