Using URI to rewrite host

I am trying to come up with a rule where the first directory name of the uri is used to rewrite the URL. an example will be:     http://www.foo.com/abc/doc/index.html =>   http://abc.foo.com...

I am able to get the following to work:


when HTTP_REQUEST {
   set my_uri [getfield [HTTP::uri] "/" 2]
   set client_host [HTTP::host]
   set new_host $my_uri.$client_host
   HTTP::header replace HOST $new_host
   log local0. $new_host 
   log local0. $my_uri
 }

However, only when user puts trailing slash at the end. If not, then the server redirects with the modified URI, which does not resolve from the outside and fails. Can you help me figure out a way to add "/" if it is missing from the original request? Thanks.
