Hi Experts , I am working on one request where CLIENT makes a request to VIP using [https://myjobrocks.com/xyz](https://myjobrocks.com/xyz) .This URL should be re-builded to another URI [https://myjobrocks.com/xyz](https://myjobrocks.com:6443/xyz) or [https://myjobrocks.com/xyz/home](https://myjobrocks.com:6443/xyz/home) etc and send to node in the backend server using its machine name . Client to VIP ----\> [https://myjobrocks.com/xyz](https://myjobrocks.com/xyz) VIP to Backend ----\> https://\:443/xyz Client should NOT see the VIP to backend communication . ALSO , the /xyz PATH contains /xyz/home/groups/siginin etc pages in it I wrote an IRULE but it works only a part of xyz/home URI , not for other PATH when I click while I reach /xyz/home When I click something in the Home page , its returns 404 error . when HTTP\_REQUEST { if {([string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals “[myjobrocks.com](http://myjobrocks.com)”) &&  [HTTP::uri] starts\_with “/xyz” } { HTTP::uri "/xyz[HTTP::uri] node 1.1.1.1 443 } I am NOT sure how to append the REST of URI request made by the Client . ---

Hello, When you are hitting URI **/xyz/home** or **xyz/something,** do you see if whole URI is preserved in the browser? ---

Hi Mayur , When i browse to [https://myjobrocks.com/xyz](https://myjobrocks.com/xyz) it HITS the F5 VIP and land on [https://myjobrocks.com/xyz](https://myjobrocks.com/xyz)/home perfectly using below irule : when HTTP\_REQUEST { if {([string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals “[myjobrocks.com](http://myjobrocks.com/)”) &&  [HTTP::uri] starts\_with “/xyz” } { node 1.1.1.1 443 } Inside Home i have different PATH and when i click on that i can see the PATH are preserved in the browser but when that PATH is appended , the request change from https to http . i am NOT sure why is this happening . Also when i try to open .html page within Home , its stays as https BUT gets a error as below Invalid redirect\_uri **Error:** 400 When i USe this irule : when HTTP\_REQUEST { if {([string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals “[myjobrocks.com](http://myjobrocks.com/)”) &&  [HTTP::uri] starts\_with “/xyz” } { HTTP::uri "/xyz[HTTP::uri] node 1.1.1.1 443 } Nothing works and gets server error . ---

OK i think i found the problem . The other URI path within /XYZ is hosted on http instead of https . Looks like i need to create a VIP with port 80 to service this paths . testing this now ---

OK this works now . Just created a VIP with Port 80 and attached the irule below when HTTP\_REQUEST { if {([string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals “[myjobrocks.com](http://myjobrocks.com/)”) &&  [HTTP::uri] starts\_with “/xyz” } { HTTP::uri "/xyz[HTTP::uri] node 1.1.1.1 80 } Thanks Every one .
