URL Re-Writing help needed

Is the client sending an absolute URL in the URI and the web app can't handle this? If so, do you want to remove the protocol and host from the URI? If that's the case, you should be able to use something like this:

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 Check for an absolute URI
if {not ([HTTP::uri] starts_with "/")}{
if {[scan $abs_uri {%[^/]//%[^/]%s} proto host uri] == 3}{

 Log and set the URI to a local URI
log local0. "\$proto: $proto, \$host: $host, \$uri: $uri"
HTTP::uri $uri
}
}
}
