iRule to redirect for specific uri

We want if customer request https://abc.com/login then it gets redirected to https://abc.com/login?local=true

I wrote below iRule

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    set lowerCaseHost [ string tolower [HTTP::host] ]
    set lowerCaseUri [string tolower [HTTP::uri]]
    if { $lowerCaseUri equals "/login" } {
    HTTP::redirect "https://abc.com/login?local=true"
            return
    }

}

it is working... But when customer types only https://abc.com then also it gets redirected to https://abc.com/login?local=true we want redirection should happen only for https://abc.com/login Not sure whats wrong with this iRule. Please suggest.

    Hi

    you may try the snippet belowe to differentiate between the different host names...

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] equals "/login" } then {
        if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "abc.de" } then {
            HTTP::redirect "https://abc.com/login?local=true"
            return
        } else {
            HTTP::redirect "https://www.abc.com/login?local=true"
            return
        }
    }
}

    Note: I've removed the $lowerCaseHost and $lowerCaseUri variables because of performance reasons. Well, it make sense to use those variables, but just if you need the value more than once... 😉

    Cheers, Kai
