Hi Hongster,

please try this iRule (not tested):

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if {[string tolower [HTTP::Host]] equals "sharepoint" and [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/blog/"} {
         Change Host-Header
        HTTP::header replace Location "blog.com"
         Cut the first characters (based on your needs) from the URI
        HTTP::uri [substr [HTTP::uri] 5]
    }
}

Depending on your required logic the rule might be optimized, but it should give you an idea what you need to do here.

Ciao Stefan 🙂
