Replace URI subset

I am simply trying to look for ch1 and replace that with ch2 in URI... any idea?     URI example:   Convert   /abc/cde/ch1/xxx/yyy/file.txt   To   /abc/cde/ch2/xx...

Hi Elvisc,

If the path and depth is relatively the same then you could do the following 

  
  when HTTP_REQUEST {  
    if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/abc/cde/ch1/" } {  
         set namepath [URI::path [HTTP::uri] 4 5]  
         set basen [URI::basename [HTTP::uri]]  
         HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host]/abc/cde/ch2/$namepath/$basen"  
        } 
  }

You might need to tweak it as I haven't tested this before i posted it.

I hope this helps
