Hi Tom,

Something like this should work: 

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
  
    log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: New request to [HTTP::host], [HTTP::uri]" 
  
     Check if the host contains a colon 
    if {[HTTP::host] contains ":"}{ 
  
        Replace the Host header with the first field, split on the : 
       HTTP::header replace Host [getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1] 
  
       log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: Updating host to [getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1]" 
    } 
 }
