Hi,

The below irule can change URI like 

/sites/en_US/about/newsroom/year/month
to 
/sites/en_US/about/newsroom?year=year&month=month

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    set path [HTTP::path]
    if { $path starts_with "/sites/en_US/about/newsroom/" and [URI::path [HTTP::uri] depth] eq "5" } {
        set year [getfield $path "/" 6]
        set month [getfield $path "/" 7]
        set path [URI::path [HTTP::uri] 1 4]
        HTTP::uri "$path?year=$year&month=$month"
    }
}

Hi,

Sorry I misunderstood your requirement. Please find below an example of translating the uri the way you want : 

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
        set path [HTTP::path]
        if { $path eq "/sites/en_US/about/newsroom" and [HTTP::uri] contains "year=" and [HTTP::uri contains "month=" ] } {
            set year [URI::query [HTTP::uri] "year"]
            set month [URI::query [HTTP::uri] "month"]
            HTTP::uri "$path/$year/$month"
        }
    }
