irule redirect based on URI does not work if there are numbers in it

I have an irule that is redirecting based on the URI. If one of the levels in the path is all numbers, the redirect does not work. If I shorten the URI and remove the numbers, the redirect works. The problem is we need a more specific URI to trigger the redirect. Do I need to put something before and after the number in the URI?

 

when HTTP_REQUEST { if {[HTTP::uri] contains "whatever/12345/something" } { HTTP::redirect "https://www.abc.com[HTTP::uri]" } }

    Which TMOS version are you on?

    I just tested that iRule out in my home lab and it was working fine

    iRule

    root@(localhost)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list ltm rule REDIRECT
ltm rule REDIRECT {
when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [HTTP::uri] contains "whatever/12345/something" } {
        HTTP::redirect "https://www.abc.com[HTTP::uri]" }
    }
}
