Realtional URI rewrites

I am completely new to irules and I would like some validation, or perhaps a better way to do what I want. I am deploying a new website that uses a completely new set of URIs. All of the previous...

This irule is missing a close bracket so I added it, and now my irule is:


when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [matchclass [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with $::redirect] } {
    HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://www.mydomain.com/[findclass [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] $::redirect]"
  }
}

This was really just a guess at where the close bracket should go, and I'm not sure why there were the 2 trailing quotation marks, but I tried with and without them, to no avail.

The irule loaded OK in the gui, and I have added it as a resource to my virtual server, but it does not seem to be doing anything. Examination of http traffic does not show a redirect taking place.

I contacted support and they said they are unable to help me and that devcentral is the correct resource.

Thank you for your help.
