Rewrite URL with parameters

I have a url like

http://server1/cyberdocs/getdoc.asp?altentry=Y&doc=208923                                                                                                   

that I would like to redirect the client to

pcdocs://Server2/208923/R

 

I need to redirect the client, not continue and send the packet to the server as the server doesn't know what to do with the pcdocs:// but the client does.

 

I have no idea how to do this.

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi  ,

    You can do with query cmd and capture value, 

    ltm rule pcdocs-test {
when HTTP_REQUEST {
   set value [URI::query [HTTP::uri] doc]
   HTTP::redirect "pcdocs://server2/$value/R"
}
}

    Let us know if you need more help.
