I have a URL like so:
http://www.domain.com/popular_stuff/list/5?id_session=BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH
and I need to strip everything after the question mark and only return the path of the URL like this (in the body of the html):
/popular_stuff/list/5
Would this work:
rule strip_question {
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::uri] contains "/popular_stuff/list"} {
HTTP::respond 200 content "[HTTP::path]"
}
}
}

With a redirect, the browser's address bar will show the update. With a rewrite it will not be modified. Here are two examples:
Rewrite:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
Check if there is a query string in the URI
if {[string length [HTTP::query]]}{
Rewrite the URI to remove the query string
HTTP::uri [HTTP::path]
}
}
Redirect:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
Check if there is a query string in the URI
if {[string length [HTTP::query]]}{
Redirect the client to the same host and the path (URI without the query string)
HTTP::redirect http://[HTTP::host][HTTP::path]
}
}
For more info on the commands, you can check the iRules wiki pages:
