Hi Shafiul,

you may try the iRule below...

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { ( [string tolower [HTTP::path]] starts_with "/somecontent/" ) and ( [HTTP::path] ends_with "/" ) } then {
        if { [HTTP::query] eq "" } then {
            HTTP::respond 301 "Location" "https://[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1][string range [HTTP::path] 0 end-1]"
        } else {
            HTTP::respond 301 "Location" "https://[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1][string range [HTTP::path] 0 end-1]?[HTTP::query]"
        }
    } else {
         Request to other base directory or a path without trailing / detected
    }
}

Note: The iRule can be used for HTTP and HTTPS access as well.

Cheers, Kai
