URI substitution

I am trying to change the URI such that CI in the URI is replaced by the value obtained in the FILTER http header. I need to make it in such a way that the user still sees /csn/CI/value1/generic.html ...

sorry to revive an old thread, but this is very similar to my current issue. I'm trying to rewrite an incoming request thusly: 

when HTTP_REQUEST {set OLDPATH [HTTP::path]log local0.info "got request for $OLDPATH"if {[HTTP::path] starts_with "/dealers"} {HTTP::path [string map -nocase "/dealers/ /used_car_classifieds/dealer/" [HTTP::path]]set NEWPATH [HTTP::path]log local0. "$OLDPATH should've been rewritten to $NEWPATH"}}

Log output is:

Jan 20 15:17:38 local/tmm info tmm[5350]: Rule dvlp_dealer_rewrite : /dealers/IL/Chicago/VOLVO should've been rewritten to /dealers/IL/Chicago/VOLVO

so the rule is firing, but I'm either not doing the string map correctly, or the [HTTP::path] isn't getting updated?
