ProxyPass

Hi - hope this is the right place to pose this question   Background:   We are using the ProxyPass irule v10.2 to setup URI shortcode/keyword redirects (rewrites?) e.g. www.123.com/checkthisout...

If you send an HTTP redirect, the client will see the change in their address bar. If you rewrite the URI and/or host before sending the request to the server, the client will not see the change. So in concept you could modify the ProxyPassv10 iRule to send a redirect instead of rewriting the URI, but you'll need to strip out a fair amount of code related to the rewriting. You can send a 302 redirect with HTTP::redirect or any HTTP response with HTTP::respond.
