Hi,

I want to do a content switching per URL

example:

name.mydomain.com/tr/  --> should be redirected to testing websites
name.mydomain.com/st/ --> should be redirected to staging websites
name.mydomain.com/pr/ --> should be redirected to production websites

I used this expression to do that REQ.HTTP.URL CONTAINS /ts/website1, but when one of my website that has link same to /tr like /st/transaction, the redirection fails.

Please help.

How can ensure that only URL's under /tr should be redirected/forwarded to /tr website even if there is a context similar to the rest of urls.

One workaround i did to resolve this is by re-arranging the priority but it is tedious to manage that when your have let's say 20 to 50 URLs.

Content switching supports both Classic & Advanced policies: yours was a Classic, mkalle's was an Advanced one, using a regex, no big deal.

As you spotted, the problem with using "contains" is that incorrect things can also match it, so you need to use an "equals" with a wildcard instead, so you match "the string starts with '/tr/' then has anything else following it".....  something like "REQ.HTTP.URL==/tr/*" (Classic format) or HTTP.REQ.URL.EQ("/tr/*") (Advanced format) should give you what you want (without needing to understand regexes!).
