Can you elaborate? Where is the company name defined? The host name/URL? An HTTP header? HTTP payload?
Cosmo_136119Thank You for replying. from what I was told that this company name would be in the URI. I found the below iRule and want to see if that works when HTTP_REQUEST {
Disable caching if the URI contains the string "xxxx"if { ([HTTP::uri] contains "xxxx") } { CACHE::disable } }
Any thoughts?

That iRule will effectively disable the proxy-based caching (if enabled) for a given URI. Just to be clear though, the URI is the portion of the URL after the host name. Example:
www.example.com/foo/barThe HTTP::host command would return "www.example.com" The HTTP::uri command would return "/foo/bar"
This iRule does not, however, remove the company name from the URI. It simply disables the caching profile.
