Hi Jatin,

 

this sounds like pretty easy and simple URI rewriting. Your POST request is coming in like this:

 

http(s)://

 

With an iRule you verify the required header with your mapping (data group list) and then just replace the value of [HTTP::uri] with the one from the DGL. So the client would still see the request going towards , but towards the server "behind" the F5 it will go towards . So there will be NO redirect initiated.

 

Hope that helps you!

 

Ciao Stefan :)
