    if you are looking for case insensitive in stream expression, it is not supported yet.

     

     

    there is request for enhancement which will be implemented.

    I think these are the matches Russell is trying to match/replace:

     

     

    http://csweb -> https://csweb

     

    http://www.quantum.com(?!http://www.quantum.com/ProductAwareTandC.aspx) -> https://www.quantum.com

     

    http://maps.google.com -> https://maps.google.com

     

     

    The second one is possibly causing the issue. I think you want this regex instead:

     

     

    @http://www\.quantum\.com(?!/ProductAwareTandC\.aspx)@https://www.quantum.com@

     

     

    If you want to do this without case sensitivity on the capitalized letters, you can use a character set:

     

     

    @http://www\.quantum\.com(?!/[pP]roduct[aA]ware[tT]and[cC]\.aspx)@https://www.quantum.com@

     

     

    If that regex doesn't work and you can't do this with negative lookaheads, you might try a more generic stream expression like @http://www\.quantum\.com[a-zA-Z0-9/?_-]*@@ and then check the matched string using STREAM::match in STREAM_MATCHED to determine whether to rewrite the protocol.

     

     

    There's an example of this on the STREAM::expression wiki page:

     

     

     

    http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.STREAM__expression.ashx

     

     

    This example shows how you can use in the event to check if the matched string meets some condition that can't easily be checked for using a single regex in .

     

     

     

    Note that you should escape the periods in the "find" portion of the stream expression so they match on a literal period instead of any single character.
