    Hello VS.

    Try this.

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
	set uri_param [URI::query [HTTP::uri] uri]
	if { ([HTTP::host] contains "website1") and ([string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/hptrimwebclient/download/") } {
		HTTP::redirect "http://website2.com/CS/HPRMServiceApi/Record/$uri_param/File/Document"
	}
	else { pool POOL1 }
}

    Regards,

    Dario.

Hi Dario!

 

I am trying to redirect :

http://website1/hptrimwebclient/download/?uri=123456&t=record&lang=ln_english&mbd=false

 

to:

http://website2.com/CS/HPRMServiceApi/Record/123456/File/Document

 

However 123456 above is a variable number and would need to be redirected to the corresponding URL with the same number. So that if the above example changes to:

http://website1/hptrimwebclient/download/?uri=987654&t=record&lang=ln_english&mbd=false

 

Then it would get redirected to:

http://website2.com/CS/HPRMServiceApi/Record/987654/File/Document

 

Thank you!
