URI Rewrite when sending the packet to Backend

Hi All, I'm working on this requirement to rewrite the URI path in the HTTP Request, just the URI path and not the query portion. E.g. Incoming request to http://1.1.1.1/test/abc?param=1234...

Hi,

for request "http://1.1.1.1/test/abc?param=1234567890"

host  : 1.1.1.1
uri   : /test/abc?param=1234567890
path  : /test/abc
query : param=1234567890

If you want to change the host, you can use HTTP::redirect

Sample

Request: http://1.1.1.1/test/abc?param=1234567890

Redirect: https://2.2.2.2/test/abc2?param=1234567890

when HTTP_REQUEST {
	if { [HTTP::path] equals "/test/abc" } {
		set newUri [string map {"abc" "abc1"} [HTTP::path]]
		HTTP::redirect "https://2.2.2.2$newUri?[HTTP::query]"
	}
}

Hi,

Here 1.1.1.1 is the VIP and 2.2.2.2 is the backend server.
In original case Host header will be name as it is.
