Strip URI word between first two "/"

We can try to write irule but plz tell us the output values...

I am not sure if I understood by output values. Let me explain more what I am trying to do.

I want to extract word which is between first two "/" in URI and modify the "Host" in the header with extracted word.

Example:

Extract "abc" and use that in header Host as ";.

This "abc" word will be dynamic for different apps so I was thinking to store in variable ( using set) but not sure how I can extract that word.

Thank you.

You can use getfield to return a specific part of the URI like this:

set var [getfield [HTTP::uri] "/" 2] 
This will return abc in your case 

Or if you want to strip out/modify specific parts if the URI, you can use the split command to return a list of elements like this:

set elements [split [HTTP::uri] "/"]
set e1 [lindex $elements 0]
set e2 [lindex $elements 1]
set e3 [lindex $elements 2]
set e4 [lindex $elements 3]
In your case e1 would be empty, e2 would be abc, e3 would be garbage, and e4 would be moregarbage

If you have any more questions, I am sure I can help
