HTTP::URI redirect to another Pool

Trying to use the sample code here (http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/HTTP__uri.html) to do something that should be very simple:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::uri] ends_with "content1" } {
     pool content_pool_1
  } elseif { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/abc" } {
     pool abc_servers
 }
}

The idea being that:

for users browsing to www.website.com/content1 >> they go to the content_pool_1 servers, everything else goes to content_pool_2 servers

But after I enable the rule, I keep getting 404 errors in server in content_pool_2.

The Virtual Server currently points to content_pool_2... how do I/do I need to somehow point the Virtual Server to both content_pool_1 and content_pool_2?

Right now, content_pool_1 isn't assigned to a Virtual Server... does it need to be?

Doesn't seem like this should be so difficult...

For the port 80 Virtual Server;


when HTTP_REQUEST {
 if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] equals "/" } {
  HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://suppose.com/psp/rewrite/redirect"
  return } 
}

For the port 443 Virtual Server, assign a Stream Profile and this iRule;


when HTTP_REQUEST {
 STREAM::disable
 if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] equals "/" } {
  HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://suppose.com/psp/rewrite/redirect"
  return } 
}

when HTTP_RESPONSE {
 STREAM::expression {@http://@https://@}
 STREAM::enable
 }

To assign the Stream Profile in the GUI: Local Traffic > Virtual Servers > Name > Stream Profile > stream

I'm using version 11.1.0, and I don't see the option of Stream Profile to be configured on the virtual server. Do I have to feed the command manually?

Is the Virtual Server not configured as a Standard VS? If not, how did you ever apply a ClientSSL profile?

It's a standard VS but I don't seen any option for applying a stream profile to the VS. However, there is an option to configure a stream profile.

Are you running LTM?

Could it be hiding behind the 'Resources' tab at the top of the screen?
