    This might work for you. I've not tried it but it should be a good starting point.

     

    when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::host] equals "abc.com" } { if [HTTP::path] starts_with "/sample/abc"} {

     

    HTTP::redirect "http://redirect.def.com/redirect/abc[string range [HTTP::uri] 11 end]" } }

    Looks okay to me.

     

    Try putting " after your first line after the ?

     

    when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::path] starts_with "/xyz/aa/srt/rfc/rc/TST_Z_WS_PORTAL?" } { HTTP::redirect "http://xyztstr.abc.com:8010/xyz/aa/srt/rfc/rc/Z_WS_PORTAL_EMTIA?[HTTP::query]" } }

    Hi Again

     

    We tried this irule and it looks redirect correctly but we have another issue like below

     

    We will replace linux based reverse proxy to F5 and we don't want to see redirection url on browser, It will be show source url on browser but bring the target url ( Linux based reverse proxy works like this )

     

    I think we need to write rewrite rule but i don't know how can i write this rule

     

    Please could you help me for this situation

     

    For more details you can see below,

     

    Linux based reverse proxy config example

     

    RewriteRule ^/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/TST_TEST_KONTROL(.*) http://tstrestr.abc.com:8011/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/TEST_KONTROL$1 [P,L]

     

    RewriteRule ^/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/TST_TEST_CHANGE(.*) http://tstrestr.abc.com:8011/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/TEST_CHANGE$1 [P,L]

     

    In this rule

     

    ^ = http://test.abc.com

     

    (.*) = whatever comes put after $1

     

    (?sap-client=010&sap-user=wsuser&sap-password=sm3abcde1fg)

     

    It will going below site but can't change url link on browser http://tstrestr.abc.com:8011/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/TEST_KONTROL?sap-client=010&sap-user=wsuser&sap-password=sm3abcde1fg

     

    Regards

    Take a look at the ProxyPass iRule.

     

    This is good for modifying hostnames and URI paths with reference to data groups.
