Partial URI rewrite v 4.5

Hi,

If you always want to redirect requests that start with "/my/very/long", you could use something like this:

rule my_rule {
   if (http_uri starts_with "/my/very/long/") {
      redirect to "https://www.foorbar.com/our/very/log/%u"
   } else {
      use pool http_pool
   }
}

Else, if a string comparison won't work, you could use matches_regex to describe when to issue the redirect:

rule my_rule {
   if (http_uri matches_regex "/my/very/long/(?:some_dynamic_string)") {
      redirect to "https://www.foorbar.com/our/very/log/%u"
   } else {
      use pool http_pool
   }
}

[Edits: the %u is substituted for the original URI. And it's more resource intensive to use matches_regex versus one of the string comparisons like starts_with, contains or ends_with.]
