do you want redirection or rewriting?

Redirect vs. Rewrite

this is an example of redirection. 

[root@ve1023:Active] config  b virtual bar list
virtual bar {
   snat automap
   pool server
   destination 172.28.19.79:8080
   ip protocol 6
   rules myrule
   profiles {
      http {}
      tcp {}
   }
}
[root@ve1023:Active] config  b rule myrule list
rule myrule {
   when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/ABC" } {
      HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host]/DEF"
   }
}
}
[root@ve1023:Active] config  curl -I http://www.mydomain.com:8080/ABC
HTTP/1.0 302 Found
Location: http://www.mydomain.com:8080/DEF
