iRule redirect - change domain, path but keep unique ID

I'm having trouble getting an iRule right that redirects domain, modifies path, but maintains a trailing unique identifier. I intend to redirect:

http://documents.test.com/retrieve.asp?guid=43w232w398s-sd

to

http://platform.test.com/Servicepages/RetrieveDocument.aspx?did=43w232w398s-sd

Where the value after the = will always be variable.

Thoughts?

Sorry, there was a missing double quote:
when HTTP_REQUEST { Check for requests to /retrieve.asp if { [string tolower [HTTP::path]] eq "/retrieve.asp"}{ Redirect the request to /Servicepages/RetrieveDocument.aspx with the guid parameter value set as did HTTP::redirect "/Servicepages/RetrieveDocument.aspx?did=[URI::query "?&[HTTP::query]" &guid]" } }

Michael, the ?&[HTTP::query] and &guid parts are necessary to work around a bug in the URI::query command. See the bottom of the URI::query wiki page for details:

  I have a very similar need to this issue. I need to change the FQDN and the path, but keep the unique ID string at the end of the whole URI, and then direct the user to the address. Did you ever get this working correctly?
