iRules operator starts_with case sensitivity?

I think the subject says it all.     Is the starts_with operator case aware? Is there an easy way to just lower case the whole string?     Thanks!

You can use the 'string tolower' function to set a string to lowercase before you perform the starts_with comparison. Here is an example:


if { [string tolower [HTTP::path]] starts_with "/directory" ]}{

You can check the TCL manual for details:
