Persistence Cookie iRule not working as desired

In the irule that I have posted above do not consider this part,

 

 

if { [HTTP::path] equals "/api/v1/sendpinajax" } {

 

log local0. "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]: this is the path [HTTP::path] "

 

HTTP::respond 200 content "HTTP path [HTTP::path]\n\n"

 

HTTP::path /sendpinajax

 

pool MM-MEP

 

persist cookie insert "MM-MEP-SENDPIN"

 

}

 

 

have not added that yet in production. This is just for testing.
