Need help with parsing URI

Greetings!

 

 

I have a bunch of URI's in our application like the following

 

 

http://foo.bar.com/wiki/a/b/e.html

 

http://foo.bar.com/wiki/p/q/r/s/t.html

 

http://foo.bar.com/wiki/x/y/z.html

 

 

I would like to do a redirect using iRules to eliminate the first directory "/wiki"

 

 

so if a request comes to http://foo.bar.com/wiki/a/b/e.html it should 301 to http://foo.bar.com/a/b/e.html and so on....

 

 

Can some one please help me?

 

 

Thanks,

 

Anish

    Hi Anish,

    You can trim off the /wiki using string range: 

    when HTTP_REQUEST {

    Check if URI starts with /wiki/
   if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/wiki/"}{

       Send a local redirect without the /wiki string
      HTTP::respond 301 Location [string range [HTTP::uri] 5 end]
   }
}
