iRule: problem modifying uri without a redirect

Thanks for the cache priority tip citizen. just to keep this post updated, here is an alternative iRule suggested by f5 for uri modification using variables for the rewrite:

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/test" } {

 

set old_uri [HTTP::uri]

 

log local0. "BEFORE: $old_uri"

 

set new_uri "/index.html"

 

HTTP::uri $new_uri

 

log local0. "AFTER: $new_uri"

 

}

 

}
