Need to replace URL and URI

Hi there - Check out this article from iRules 101. There are some examples you could use with the HTTP::redirect command that would fit your requirements.

when HTTP_REQUEST { set Vuri [ string tolower [HTTP::uri]] set Vheader [string tolower [HTTP::host]]

    if { $Vheader equals "john.a.com" }
            {
                switch $Vuri {
                        /a  { HTTP::redirect "http://whoisjohn.a.com/shortname=A" } 
                        /b  { HTTP::redirect "http://whoisjohn.a.com/shortname=B" } 
                        /c  { HTTP::redirect "http://whoisjohn.a.com/shortname=C" } 
                    }  
           }

}

when HTTP_REQUEST { set Vuri [ string tolower [HTTP::uri]] set Vheader [string tolower [HTTP::host]]

    if { $Vheader equals "john.a.com" }
            {
                switch $Vuri {
                        /a  { HTTP::redirect "http://whoisjohn.a.com/shortname=A" } 
                        /b  { HTTP::redirect "http://whoisjohn.a.com/shortname=B" } 
                        /c  { HTTP::redirect "http://whoisjohn.a.com/shortname=C" } 
                    }  
           }

}

The problem is "A" "B" "C" are not static it will be dynamic and more than 1000

Untested:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { ([HTTP::host] eq "john.a.com") and ([string length [HTTP::uri]] < 3) } {
set NEW_URI [string map {/ /shortname=} [HTTP::uri]] 
HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://whois.[HTTP::host]$NEW_URI"
}
}
