    Hi AbuAhmad,

    I missed something sorry. Could you please try below one:

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/xyz/web/apx/" && not ([HTTP::uri] equals "/xyz/web/apx/") } {
     drop
 }
}

Hi AbuAhmad,

If the uri starts with /xyz/web/apx then you can use the following irule:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/xyz/web/apx/" } {
     drop
  }
}

Otherwise your irule is almost correct. Just remove the asteriks at the end of the uri.

Have a nice day.
