removing part of uri in redirect

We are moving servers and our paths from site to application are changing. For example, I have a current path of testsite.com/applications/testapp/lowerfolder/lowerfolder/test.aspx?param1=1&param2=2 ...
application delivery
dev
devops

I tried that. My iRule now looks like this:

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { [HTTP::host] contains "testsite.com" } {

 

if {[string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/applications/testapp/" } {

 

set newpath [HTTP::host][string map {"/applications/" "/"} [HTTP::uri]]

 

HTTP::redirect "https://$newpath"

 

}

 

}

 

}

 

 

But I am getting a message when testing the site that the redirect is not working correctly. When I click on the link, it doesn't look like it's redirecting at all. The path remains the same as it was originally. But if I use the link that it's trying to redirect and remove the /applications from the url, the page works fine.
