Hi,

Here is a Codeshare example which shows how to remove the port from the Location header value in 30x redirects:

[http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/RewriteHTTPRedirectPort.html](http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/RewriteHTTPRedirectPort.html)

```tcl
when HTTP_RESPONSE { 
  
     Check if server response is a redirect 
    if { [HTTP::header is_redirect]} { 
  
        Log original and updated values 
       log local0. "Original Location header value: [HTTP::header value Location],\ 
          updated: [string map ":[TCP::remote_port]/ /" [HTTP::header value Location]]" 
  
        Do the update 
       HTTP::header replace Location [string map ":[TCP::remote_port]/ /" [HTTP::header value Location]] 
    } 
 }

```
