Hi,

 

Browser never send empty uri in request.

 

The request format is :

 

GET /path HTTP/1.X

Or (for some http 1.0 browser)

 

GET /path

The uri is always at least /

 

When you do not enter any path in the browser, it append /

 

The code is

 

if {[HTTP::path] eq "/"} {
  HTTP::respond 301 Location http://server.company3.com/
  }
else {
  HTTP::respond 301 Location http://server.company2.com[HTTP::uri]
  }
