You can get and set the URI with HTTP::uri. If you want to change the host, you can use HTTP::header replace Host NEW_HOST.

Here's an example:


when HTTP_REQUEST {
    set new URI
   HTTP::uri /newuri/index?page=[HTTP::uri]
   log local0. "new uri: /newuri/index?page=[HTTP::uri]"
    set new Host header
   HTTP::header replace Host www.company.com
   log local0. "replaced Host header"
}

Depending on your requirements, you might want to add in logic to check that the original requested URI should be rewritten to the form "/newuri/index?page=ORIGINAL_URI".
