You can create a string datagroup in the GUI with your URI tokens that shouldn't have the trailing slash added to. Which LTM version are you running? For 10.x, you'd want to use the class command to look up the requested URI in the datagroup. For 9.x you could use matchclass.

Note, you must be on 10.2.1HF1 or higher to use HTTP::path like this:

CR142756 - Using HTTP::path to set the path truncates the query string in v10.0 - v10.2.1 (fixed in 10.2.1HF1) 


when HTTP_REQUEST {
    Check if the HTTP path is not in the datagroup and does not already end with a /
   if { not ([class match [HTTP::path] equals slashblacklist]) and not ([HTTP::path] ends_with "/")} {
       Append 
      HTTP::path "[HTTP::path]/"
   }
}
