Need an iRule to redirect site http://mysite/projects/test for redirect to http://mysite/sites/testforredirect

We are moving an internal site to a new area

 

But it isn't quite that simple. I've created the following that will work (partially)

 

when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/projects/test for redirect/" } {HTTP::redirect http://[HTTP::host]/sites/testforredirect} }

 

The problem is if someone has bookmarked a location for instance for redirect/shared documents/document1. It needs to go to documents/document1. But it would be redirected to without going to the specific location the user needs

 

Any ideas on how to get the end part of the uri to append to the URL?

    the problem is if someone has bookmarked a location for instance for redirect/shared documents/document1. It needs to go to documents/document1.

    e.g.

     configuration

[root@ve11a:Active:In Sync] config  tmsh list ltm virtual bar
ltm virtual bar {
    destination 172.28.24.10:80
    ip-protocol tcp
    mask 255.255.255.255
    pool foo
    profiles {
        http { }
        tcp { }
    }
    rules {
        qux
    }
    source 0.0.0.0/0
    source-address-translation {
        type automap
    }
    vs-index 19
}
[root@ve11a:Active:In Sync] config  tmsh list ltm rule qux
ltm rule qux {
    when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/projects/test_for_redirect/" } {
    set newuri [string map {/projects/test_for_redirect/ /sites/testforredirect/} [HTTP::uri]]
    HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host]$newuri"
  }
}
}

 test

[root@ve11a:Active:In Sync] config  curl -I http://172.28.24.10/projects/test_for_redirect/shared_documents/document1
HTTP/1.0 302 Found
Location: http://172.28.24.10/sites/testforredirect/shared_documents/document1

      Not perfect but it definitely pointed me in the right direction. The problem is that most users put in the URL as something like http://mysite/projects/Test For Redirect with spaces and a mixture of capital and lower case letters. Here is the ultimate solution I came up with due to your excellent suggestion. when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/projects/test%20for%20redirect" } { set newuri [string tolower [string map {/projects/test%20for%20redirect /sites/testforredirect} [HTTP::uri]]] HTTP::redirect "http://[HTTP::host]$newuri" } }
