Redirecting specific java strings in uri

I have a redirection query that currently redirects the root page based on the browser type. 

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
 if { [HTTP::path] equals "/" }{ 
  if { [HTTP::header "User-Agent"] contains "soviet" } 
 {HTTP::redirect "http://soviet.com/"} 
     } 
 }

this works just fine.

However now I have to pick a specific instance where a jquery is passed in the uri to NOT redirect. I tried the following, but it prevented all access to the site from the browser. 

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
 if { [HTTP::path] equals "/" }{ 
           if { not [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/?user=soviet" }{ 
     if { [HTTP::header "User-Agent"] contains "soviet" } 
     {HTTP::redirect "http://soviet.com/"} 
        } 
     } 
 }

What would the correct way of doing this be?
application delivery
dev
devops

    I think the problem is with the logical not. If you wrap what you want to negate in parentheses does it work? 

     
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    if { [HTTP::path] equals "/" }{ 
       if { not ([string tolower [HTTP::query]] starts_with "user=soviet") }{ 
          if { [HTTP::header "User-Agent"] contains "soviet" }{ 
             HTTP::redirect "http://soviet.com/" 
          } 
       } 
    } 
 }
