iRule question?

I'm trying to write an iRule that take a shorter URL and expand it while adding the last 9 characters to the end of it.   So as an example when someone browses to:   http://website.ca/admn/0123...
application delivery
BIG-IP

Hi Perch,

I would try it with this one:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    option1
    set user_id [findstr [HTTP::uri] "/admn/" 6]
    option2
    set user_id [getfield [HTTP::uri] "/" 3]
    HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://website.ca/AppXtender/ISubmitQuery.aspx?DataSource=BPROD&appname=UM-S-ADMN&ID=$user_id" 
}

Ciao Stefan 🙂
