uri rewrite rule

Question

If anyone can provide any assistance with the following then it would be much appreciated:&nbsp;
&nbsp;I have a customer who wants an irule to rewrite the uri so that when the user connects to the virtual server, they are passed through to the backend host with a slightly different uri.&nbsp;
&nbsp;eg.&nbsp;
&nbsp;user connects to http://www.virtualserver.com/test/index.html
&nbsp;user is directed to http://www.backendhost.com/sample/test/index.html&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;Many thanks!

So you're looking for something like this, I believe:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if{([HTTP::host] equals "virtualserver") and ([HTTP::uri] contains "test")} {
    HTTP::redirect "http://www.backendhost.com/sample[HTTP::uri]"
  }
}

Colin,&nbsp;
&nbsp;I don't think he is looking for a redirect... It seems he is looking for a transparent URI rewrite:&nbsp;
&nbsp;    HTTP::uri "sample[HTTP::uri]"&nbsp;
&nbsp;Cheers,

You can use the HTTP::uri command to change the URI passed to the backend server.&nbsp;
