question on iRule

I've created a simple iRule to match a string in URI, and redirect to different URL. But it is appending extra '/' after the hostname in the URL. Any idea why?     Here is the rule:     ...
application delivery
dev
devops

Hi s3s1277,

If you want to see what Sashi is talking about add the following to your iRule. You are adding in the "/" in some part of the iRule that is deplayed. The [HTTP::uri] value starts with and includes the "/" (see the log example below).

Apr 2 15:31:32 local/tmm1 info tmm1[4831]: Rule Z.iRule.Development : Matched and redireting to http://xxxxxx/string1234

Apr 2 15:31:32 local/tmm1 info tmm1[4831]: Rule Z.iRule.Development : HTTP::host Value: website.com

Apr 2 15:31:32 local/tmm1 info tmm1[4831]: Rule Z.iRule.Development : HTTP::uri Value: /string1234 


when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::uri] contains "/string1234" } {
log local0. "Matched and redireting to http://xxxxxx[HTTP::uri]"
log local0. "HTTP::host Value:  [HTTP::host]"
log local0. "HTTP::uri Value:  [HTTP::uri]"
HTTP::redirect "http://xxxxxx[HTTP::uri]"
}
}

Hope this helps.
