    Hello,

    in this attempt I'm using the getfield command to split URI by "/oldsubfolder/" string, so that first "oldsubfolder" match would be field 1 and the rest of your URI will be field 2.

     

    I'm replacing /oldsubfoler/ with new path manually and then appending the rest of your uri using field 2 syntax.

     

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
 if { [HTTP::uri] contains "/oldsubfolder/"} {
   HTTP::redirect https://[HTTP::host]/newsubfolder/[getfield [HTTP::path] "/oldsubfolder/" 2]
 } 
}

    I haven't had the chance to test this in a lab, please do before installing.
