Rewriting /aaa to /bbb and assigning pool transparently

Hi All,     I have a virtual server set up that I wish to add an irule for.   Basically the start of the uri will be used to choose the actual context on the actual servers in the pools.   ...

Oh, I thought you were talking about replacing all embedded links from the /aaa to /111. Per the HTTP protocol, the HTTP response does not return the URI back to the browser so there is no way on the response for you to tell the browser that you changed the URI on the backend. If you want the browser address bar to change, you will have to issue a full redirect back to the browser in the HTTP_REQUEST event instead of just modifying the URI before it gets to the backend server. This way the browsers address bar will be changed with your updated urls.

 

 

Make sense?
