How to Redirect a URL using Application Gateway with Query included and Path excluded

Question

I am not able to successfully redirect a URL with query to another target external URL.

eg:- Request URL:- http://example123.com/xxx/yy?path=com Target URL:- http://example456.com/zzz/yy

Condition:- I need to include the query string from the Request URL but not the Path.

I have tried using the path-based routing rule on the App GateWay with below configuration

Redirect rule

But after hitting save its going back to a state like this:

Rule after save

Can anyone please find us a solution ??

According to configuration-request-routing-rules (github.com) , Path based rule may not send path to query and only applies it to path of url.

When you create a rule, you choose between basic and path-based.

• Choose basic if you want to forward all requests on the associated listener (for example, blog.contoso.com/*) to a single back-end pool.
• Choose path-based if you want to route requests from specific URL paths to specific back-end pools. The path pattern is applied only to the path of the URL, not to its query parameters.

Please check if you can try the rewriting URL path instead of redirecting which refers to this tutorial for implementation.
