Rewrite URL Context

In its simplest form with no error-checking:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  HTTP::uri "/webapps/newsite/[findstr [HTTP::uri] "/scripts/" 9]"
}

I'd build some protection around this if your scope is beyond testing functionality, perhaps verify the path begins correctly:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/scripts/" } {
    HTTP::uri "/webapps/newsite/[findstr [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] "/scripts/" 9]"
  }
}

Another option would be to go with the "string map" command

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  HTTP::uri [string map -nocase {"/scripts/" "/webapps/newsite/"} [HTTP::uri]]
}

This will replace (map) all occurrances of "/scripts/" in the HTTP::uri with the string "/webapps/newsite/". If "/scripts" isn't present in the HTTP::uri the string map returns the original string.

I didn't mean to point out that your approach wasn't clean. I just wanted to show a different alternative. Not every solution is right for each environment. My solution will cause odd behavior if the string "/scripts/" is embedded multiple places in the URI so in that case, your solution would work better as it replaces the first 9 characters. Sanity checks are always a good thing...

I wasn't offended in the least. I was glad to see an alternate solution to add to my archive.

Thanks! We are testing now, but that seems to be working.
