Hi,

 

 

Could the problem be that the client IP address isn't what you're expecting?

 

 

If you send a request for http://example.com/company/images/CN_Upper_Logo.png, do you get redirected? If so, I'd be surprised--I thought the starts_with operator did a string comparison and that it was case sensitive. If that's really happening, can you try escaping the forward slashes with backslashes?

 

 

if (client_addr != 172.20.49.100 and http_uri starts_with "\/cn\/")
