Bypass SSL redirect if URI is....

I have 2 set of iRules that I'd like to combine into 1, however I'm unable to apply the logic without the result ending up in a loop. The end result needs to be - if the URI is "/articles/2015/09/0...

Any idea why this results in a redirect loop?

If someone visits an article other than /articles/2015/09/09/something.aspx, it stays on http. When I added the https redirect to the else statement, this resulted in a loop. 

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [TCP::remote_port] eq 80 && !([string tolower [HTTP::uri]] eq "/articles/2015/09/09/something.aspx") }
    {
        HTTP::redirect https://[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1][HTTP::uri]
    }
    elseif { [TCP::local_port] eq 443 && [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] eq "/articles/2015/09/09/something.aspx" } {
        HTTP::redirect http://[getfield [HTTP::host] ":" 1][HTTP::uri]
    }
    else {
       HTTP::redirect https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]
    }
}
