Re-direct irule but keep URL

Hello i'm trying to setup an irule to re-direct based on URI while keeping the original URL in the user's browser. Example- user goes to https://abc.com and clicks on a link that takes him to https://abc.com/xyz. I want to redirect the user to https://def.abc.com/xyz while keeping https://abc.com/xyz in the user's browser.

 

I've achieved the re-direct a couple of different ways but can't figure out how to keep the original URL in the user's browser. Here was my last attempt while trying a 301 response. Keep in mind i'm very new working with Irules!

 

when HTTP_REQUEST { if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/xyz" } { HTTP::respond 301 noserver Location "https://def.com/xyz" } }

    This should do what you want.

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [string tolower [HTTP::path]] starts_with "/xyz" }{
        HTTP::respond 301 noserver Location "https://def.com[HTTP::uri]"
    }
}

      Entered it in and it looks like chrome gives this error- ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE and firefox gives this- The connection was reset. Any other thoughts?

      This will require an HTTP profile. And if the vip is HTTPS, that means you will also require a client SSL profile.
