Hi F5_Rock,

Here getfield functionality is to split the host part i.e. http://test7883.com:8900 ?.
-
what is the use of field_number in the above case it's mentioned as 1 ?.
I am unable to understand why we need to split the host part when we have to do a https redirection for the http request i.e. we wil redirect the http request http://test7883.com:8900 to https://test7883.com:8900
Thanks,
