You may be better off using a 

switch
statement for multiple patterns. something like this

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    switch -glob -- [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {
    "/getimage.aspx\?vid=*usehttp=?&cat=*&class=*&size=*&resize=?&dpi=*&quality=*&type=*&width=*&height=*&id=*" -
    "Insert another pattern here" {
                 Looks good. Do nothing
    }
    default {
                 Drop the request
                drop
    }
}
