Cisco ACE - can you edit the GET or Request-URI part?

[trondaker]

Hi,

We have a customer that needs to edit the URL part of the GET request. Something like if a request comes in with a Host header value of www.x.com and the GET points to /dep1/test/index.html they want this to strip off /dep1/ and have the GET just be /test/index.html. They want to conserve SSL-certs and real-IPs, and still maintain the same structure of the web-servers in the backend - hence the matching/load-balancing on department-levels in the URI.

Problem is in the specification, the GET is the request-method and points to the resource, but the Host is a header in that method. But i dont see that the resource is actually being carried in a http header that i can manipulate? Am i missing something obvious?

You can only modify fields in http header, not URL / URI

Hi Surya,

Thats what I feared - any thoughts on another way to accomplish something like this?
