LTM iRule Reverse Proxy redirect

Hi Guys, Sorry for the repeat post in advance. I'm trying to configure a reverse proxy (RP) using an iRule, but I can not get it to work. I'm a network engineer by trade, but I love learning this...

    Phipse,

    Have you tried using string map,

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/ucit" } {
      HTTP::uri [string map {"/ucit/" "/services/"} [HTTP::uri]]
      pool pool_Node4RP_Reg
   } else {
   pool pool_RTS_4400
   }
}

Here's a tip,

This statement 

HTTP::uri "/services/downloaddocument?_wadl"
will completely replace your incoming uri to what you have just specified. Thus you'd lose your http queries and it's params.

Look for how to capture the http query and how to preserve and pass along while changing http uri.

If you find struggling, pls keep us posted. Happy to help.
