Rewrite / redirect from /admin

I am trying to redirect and rewrite all requests to a directory, as well as any arguments that are passed through the request. For example: http://ourwebsite.org/admin/leads.asp?id=2...
application delivery
dev
devops

Hi Joe,

You could use [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/admin" or [string match "/admin*" [HTTP::uri]] to check if the URI starts with /admin. But the * with eq is interpreted literally, not as a wildcard. Also, you can remove the switch statement as you want to include the URI for the redirect whether it's / or something longer. 

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/admin" } { 
       HTTP::redirect "http://legacy.ourwebsite.org[HTTP::uri]" 
    } 
 }
