'if { not ( [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/" ) }' will never be true, because every URL starts with "/"

 

It's important that the maintenance page resources are in a separate folder (which does not exist in the actual productive application), because then you can simply select everything which is not in that folder and rewrite it to the maintenance page. Otherwise you will have to exclude the maintenance page files from the rewrite one by one.
