Hi,

You can do the following : 

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { !([HTTP::path] starts_with "/broker/api/public") } {
        HTTP::respond 302 Location "/broker/api/public[HTTP::uri]"
    }
}

Hi,

The irule previously posted do a redirect on the client side. If you require to do URI rewriting, you will need to change the irule : 

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { !([HTTP::path] starts_with "/broker/api/public") } {
        HTTP::uri "/broker/api/public[HTTP::uri]"
    }
}

You may also have a look at the URI rewrite profile that has the advantage to rewrite response headers and payload to remove "/broker/api/public" for the client.
