Hi,

I recommend to replace absolute URI to relative URI. This rewrite rule may have been useless if the server had responded with relative URI.

when HTTP_RESPONSE {
    if { [HTTP::header exists Location] && ([URI::host [HTTP::header value Location]] equals "xyz.com")} {
        HTTP::header replace Location [string map {https://xyz.com/ /} [HTTP::header value Location]]
    }
}
