Change http host and path (reverse proxy) without redirecting the client

Hi Guys,     There is a business need where our clients will go to http://www.abc.com/app-a/index.php. I want my f5 to forward that request to http://www.xyz.com/app-xyz/some-more/index.php ...

I think you've missed quotation marks around the new path. I've added some logging too; 


when HTTP_REQUEST {
 if { [string tolower [HTTP::path]] equals "/app-a/index.php" } {
  log local0. "Matched HTTP path of /app-a/index.php"
  HTTP::path "/app-xyz/some-more/index.php"
  log local0. "Replaced path"
  HTTP::header replace Host "www.xyz.com"
  log local0. "Replaced host"
 }
}
