Optimizing redirects to avoid TCL error "Multiple redirect/respond invocations"

Yes, it perfectly makes sense and I hoped it works that way, but unfortunately my tests are showing that it isnt working like that. What I did was:

 

1) remove the whole 'if' that does the "/watch" matching

 

2) place the string "/with" and its redirect into data group

 

3) test the whole thing by going to http://blabla/watch - works, go to http://blabla/watch/ - works, go to http://blabla/watch/bla - doesnt work. The last test was working in original setup, and is required to work in the data group scenario, but it seems that the starts_with clause in iRule does additional magic allowing to match with stuff after "/watch/", like "/watch/whatever/else"

 

 

Any ideas why?
