    With 11.4.1 TMOS version, you can work with LTM policy.

    You will be able to change the URI as you wish and then redirect your user to the newest URL.

    If you want to use an iRule here is what you want (again iRule isn't the most optimize method if you have a lot of requests) : 

    HTTP_REQUEST { 
    HTTP::redirect "https://[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1]/something/something/[HTTP::uri]"
}

Hello Adrian,

 

You have the perfect example built in already, check in your irule list if you have _sys_https_redirect.

 

when HTTP_REQUEST { HTTP::redirect https://[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1][HTTP::uri] }

 

next it depends if you wan to keep the uri part from the initial request or or just send the user to /something/something
