Simple HTTP session termination then back end session to web server

Hello Gurus! I'm VERY new to LTM but I suspect this one will be simple.   I've got an internal web app that simply uses http on port 80 from a company we acquired, which is currently on their loc...

OK, so far so good except for just one of the URIs: the /scan. I'm running ieHTTPHeaders to watch the header traffic in IE (shown below).

 

When I enter http://newurl.ourdomain.com:8052/webapp, everything looks fine and ieHTTPHeaders shows this:

 

GET /webapp HTTP/1.1 Accept: application/x-ms-application, image/jpeg, application/xaml+xml, image/gif, image/pjpeg, application/x-ms-xbap, / Accept-Language: en-US User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; chromeframe/30.0.1599.101; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E; InfoPath.3) Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Host: iww.lims-minerals.bureauveritas.com:8052 Connection: Keep-Alive Cookie: s_vi=[CS]v1|292E1112051D385A-40000103A000D0CD[CE]

However, when I try the /scan URI, it looks like I'm getting redirected (by the server I guess?) to the old URL somehow and then IE ends up going straight to the web server using the old URL. ieHTTPHeader info when hitting that link:

 

GET /scan HTTP/1.1 Accept: application/x-ms-application, image/jpeg, application/xaml+xml, image/gif, image/pjpeg, application/x-ms-xbap, / Accept-Language: en-US User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; chromeframe/30.0.1599.101; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E; InfoPath.3) Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Host: http://newurl.ourdomain.com:8052 Connection: Keep-Alive Cookie: s_vi=[CS]v1|292E1112051D385A-40000103A000D0CD[CE]

Anything I can write into the iRule to keep that redirect from coming all the way back to my client browser and make the F5 receive that and handle it itself so the client browser just maintains its http session to the new hostname on port 8052 with /scan?
