iRule load balance based on HTTP header username

I'm trying to modify an existing iRule below by creating a logic where it will parse the username being used, and load balance based on the username, while still using the HTTP::uri command. I know ...
application delivery
iRules
LTM

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/" } { 
        HTTP::uri /login/ 
        pool default 
    } elseif { [HTTP::uri] equals "/" and [HTTP::username] contains "username1" or [HTTP::username] contains "username2" or [HTTP::username] contains "username3" } { 
        HTTP::uri /3dspace/ pool pool1 
    } 
}

Thanks for the response Yann, but it doesn't look like this iRule works. It is not load balancing username1 to pool1. The initial HTTP request will send me to pool default, which shows me a login page of the application, which is fine. However, when I log in with my credentials (i.e. username1), either the LTM does not see anything in the HTTP::username, or I'm not parsing the username string correctly. I'm not sure what is missing here. Any help would be appreciated.
