But it redirects you on the rewritten URL. 2 options: - configure HAProxy to redirect if a / is missing (before the rewriting rule, of course) - configure HAProxy to rewirte the Location header sent by the server to insert back the /ua/ that was removed By the way, it would be safer to use the http-request rules, the configuration execution will be more predictible and readable: http-request set-path path frontend testdomain bind 172.16.0.17:80 <http://172.16.0.17/> bind 172.16.0.17:443 mode http acl redirectarchives path_beg -i /ua use_backend testbe if redirectarchives # default_backend stageweb backend testbe http-request redirect location %[path]/ code 302 unless { path_end / } http-request set-path %[path,regsub(^/ua,)] balance leastconn option forwardfor server ext1 172.17.0.18:80 <http://172.17.0.18/> check port 80 Baptiste
