Need to collect dynamic content and using in HTTP redirect

Hello All,

 

 

I have been searching devcentral for the proper way to collect dynamic content in a URL and redirecting to a completely different url and using that dynamic content.

 

 

here is an example of what I need to do:

 

 

 

https://abc.123.com/how/do/I/collect%the%next?&Param_1=&Param_2=9448134

 

 

There were always been dynamic content after Param2="xxxxxxxx" (10 numeric characters)

 

 

I need to redirect the above link to a completely new URL with the dynamic content after Param_2="xxxxxxxx"

 

 

https://def.456.com/this/is/a/diff%url%&Param_1=&Param_2=

 

 

From what I have been reading it sounds like there are a few ways to do this. I dont seem to able to find enough examples to implement this with findstr or getfield. Then I saw some other examples parsing and storing certain variables with http payload.

 

 

Any help getting started would be appreciated. Thanks everyone !

    Is it the value of param2 you want to parse? If so you can use [URI::query [HTTP::uri] param2] to get the value.

    finally finished the irule and it turns to to be simple enough to do:

    Thanks for the push in the right direction 

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
   This will be "Param_2 Value"
  set ID [URI::query [HTTP::uri] Param_2]
    redirect to "https://123.abc.com/NY/Rangers/Game5.jsp?Param_1=&Param_2=$ID"
}
