Were you seeing problems in 9.x with long URIs? If so what kind of problems? I've tested 1024 character URIs previously with 9.x and not found any issues.

Is that the full rule? You could also use string length to get the count of characters in the URI:


...
elseif { [string length [HTTP::uri]] > 513 }{
   HTTP::redirect "http://www.mysite.com"
}

Can you post the full text of (both?) rules to see along with the error you're seeing?

Thanks,

Aaron
