Multiple http_request event with http::respond

Hello, 
I need to make two iRules on the same VS. The two are http_request triggered events with http::respond.

When I'm doing this it's making a conflict between them.

One is working well and the other one is working until it need to send me the http::respond instead of sending me the page I choose the client side receive an error "This site can’t be reached" in the browser side.

 

Is there a solution to this ?


Thanks :)

    set max_requests 200
    set cookie [HTTP::cookie "SPECIAL_COOKIE"]
    set timeout_delay 30

    if { $cookie ne ""} {
        set request_count [table incr session_count:$cookie 1]

        if { $request_count == 1 } {
            table set session_count:$cookie $request_count $timeout_delay
        }
        if { $request_count > $max_requests } {
            set remaining_time [table timeout session_count:$cookie]
            HTTP::respond 429 content "Request limit exceeded wait for $timeout_delay seconds. \nFor cookie: $cookie"
        }
    }
}
      when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [HTTP::uri] contains "/XXXX/XXXXXXXXXXXXX" 
        or [HTTP::uri] contains "/XXXXXXXXXXXXXX/XX" 
        or [HTTP::uri] contains "/XXXXX/XXXX" 
        or [HTTP::uri] contains "/XXXXX/XXXX" 
		or [HTTP::uri] contains "/XXXXXXXXX"
		or [HTTP::uri] matches_regex {^/XXXXX.*\.XXXX$}}
    {
        set Custom_blocking_page [ifile get "/XXXXXXX"]
        HTTP::respond 410 content $Custom_blocking_page
        return
	} return
}
