    ashk If your intent is to redirect anything going to www.abc.com  with any URI path starting with "/find/redirect/" the following should work for you.

     

    when CLIENT_ACCEPTED priority 500 {
    
        set DEFAULT_POOL [LB::server pool]
    
    }
    
    when HTTP_REQUEST priority 500 {
    
        set HOST [string tolower [HTTP::host]]
        set URI [string tolower [HTTP::uri]]
    
        if { ${HOST} == "www.abc.com" } {
            if { ${URI} starts_with "/find/redirect/" } {
                
                HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://www.xyz.com/found/redirect?url=https://$HOST$URI"
    
            }
        } else {
            $DEFAULT_POOL
        }
    
    }

     

    Now if you want to redirect anything that connects to www.abc.com  to www.xyz.com/found/redirect?url=https:// <old_path> the following should do the job.

     

    when CLIENT_ACCEPTED priority 500 {
    
        set DEFAULT_POOL [LB::server pool]
    
    }
    
    when HTTP_REQUEST priority 500 {
    
        set HOST [string tolower [HTTP::host]]
        set URI [string tolower [HTTP::uri]]
    
        if { ${HOST} == "www.abc.com" } {
    
            HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://www.xyz.com/found/redirect?url=https://$HOST$URI"
    
        } else {
            $DEFAULT_POOL
        }
    
    }

     

    If I am missunderstanding the request please provide a real world example of one of the requests or rewording the question so we can have a different approach to the issue at hand.
