String replace question on [HTTP::path] help !!

Folks

 

 

sorry if this is too simple of a question to ask but I just started on irules a few months back.

 

 

 

I have [HTTP::path] = /intl/es_US/hotels/hotelsLanding and want to replace the first 11 characters with /es-us/ and append hotels/hotelsLanding to it.

 

 

 

Would the following work ?

 

 

 

"/intl/es_US*" {

 

set replace_path [string replace [HTTP::path] 0 11 "/es-us/"]

 

 

 

}

 

 

 

Would the value of ${replace_path} be /es-us/hotels/hotelsLanding ? If not how can I get the right value.

 

 

 

TIA.

    Hi debo_nair,

    You didn't specify if you wanted to perform a redirect after you made the modification, if you do then you could do something like this: 

    
when HTTP_REQUEST {
     if { [string tolower [HTTP::path]] starts_with "/abc" } {
          HTTP::redirect [string map {"abc" "def"} [HTTP::uri]]
     }
}

    Hope this helps.
