NimbostratusRewriting URLs (stripping out prefix)
I'm new to iRules and I would like to be able to do something like so:
if URI starts with /2.4/rest_of_URL then
goto pool X but strip out 2.4 and have /rest_of_URL seen at destination
if URI starts with /2.5/rest_of_URL then
goto pool Y but strip out 2.5 and have /rest_of_URL seen at destination
I've done this type of thing with Apache's mod_rewrite/mod_proxy, brain dead easy.
Anyway, f5 management is a very minor aspect of what I do day to day and I didn't want to expend lots of time with experimentation and/or trying to find examples when I'm sure there's a domain expert here that can answer the question trivially.

RE: I didn't want to expend lots of time with experimentation and/or trying to find examples ...
The notion that your time is more valuable than the members of the community on which you lean...not liking that very much. - JRahmCome to think of it, since the string characters are numbers, you don't need the tolower parameter. Edited for clarity in previous post.
Mario_9378Citizen thanks for the information... regarding your closing comment, I'm not implying my time is better than anyone else's -- I came here to get an answer from domain experts. Take it at face value.
Cheers,
