Cirrostratus
CirrostratusDo you want to rewrite the URL in the Location header of a redirect or in the page content? If the former, you can use check for 30x redirect responses, and rewrite the Location header using 'HTTP::header replace Location "http://newurl.example.com/newuri". If you want to rewrite the response data, you can use a stream profile and STREAM::expression to perform the rewrite. If you clarify where you want to do the rewriting, we can provide more detailed examples.
Also, if you issue a redirect, the client is redirected to a new location and the browser's address bar would be updated. If you rewrite the requested URI using HTTP::uri, the change would only be made to the request sent from LTM to the server.
