As you found, if you send a 302 redirect back to the browser, the browser will make a request to the resource and update the address bar.

 

 

To avoid the redirect and rewrite the requested URI on the BIG-IP you would need to use 9.x iRules. Rewriting the URI isn't possible in 4.x iRules.

 

 

If your BIG-IP is a supported platform and has an F5 support contract, you could upgrade to 9.x.
