Regexp to scrub http response data payload

I'm trying to write an iRule with a regexp that will scour outgoing HTTP payloads and replace http with https and remove any port (and the colon preceeding the port number) - that is, scrub all outgoi...

If you know what ports are referenced in the HTTP content you might be able to use a stream profile to perform the replacement using fewer resources than buffering the response data and doing a regsub.

Here is an example:


when HTTP_RESPONSE {
   STREAM::enable
   STREAM::expression @http://www.example.com:80@http://www.example.com@@https://www.example.com:443@https://www.example.com@
}

The format for the stream expression is @search1@replace1@@search2@replace2@@

See the wiki page for stream (Click here) and this post for more info (Click here).
