There are two drawbacks with the use of

string map

, in this case. Firstly, it will replaces all instances of "/mvpvote", even if it happens more than once in the path (or if you're using

HTTP::uri

, in the entire length of the Request Target). Secondly, it would replace, for example, "/mvpvote2/" with "2/".

The following solution should be more correct, and as a bonus, better performing (though not tested!):

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    switch -glob [HTTP::path] {
        "/mvpvote" {
            HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://[HTTP::host]/[HTTP::query]"
        }
        
        "/mvpvote/*" {
            HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://[HTTP::host][substr [HTTP::uri] 8]"
        }
    }
}
