Redirects /rewrites not being caught

I have an iRule written that is supposed to catch the following URL's and redirect them all to https://www.oursite.org

The irule only seems to want to catch the first one, and it is not redirecting / rewriting the ones below that all begin with /Forms

Can anyone help me figure out why it won't catch the others and rewrite properly? 

when HTTP_REQUEST {   
     switch [string tolower [HTTP::path]] {   
       "/login/default-login.aspx" {   
         HTTP::redirect "https://www.oursite.org[HTTP::uri]"   
       }  
       "/forms/buy.aspx" {   
         HTTP::redirect "https://www.oursite.org[HTTP::uri]"   
       } 
      "/Forms/ChangeForm.aspx" {   
         HTTP::redirect "https://www.oursite.org[HTTP::uri]"   
       }  
      "/Forms/RegistrationForm.aspx" {   
         HTTP::redirect "https://www.oursite.org[HTTP::uri]"   
       } 
      "/Forms/ChangePassword.aspx" {   
         HTTP::redirect "https://www.oursite.org[HTTP::uri]"   
       }  
      "/Forms/RenewForm.aspx" {   
         HTTP::redirect "https://www.oursite.org[HTTP::uri]"   
       }  
     }   
   }

    I figured this out - I had to put everything to lower case and it all worked.

    Nice work. Debug logging could help you catch something like that. Also, if the action is the same for any switch condition, you can combine them into one case: 

     
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    switch [string tolower [HTTP::path]] { 
       "/login/default-login.aspx" - 
       "/forms/buy.aspx" - 
       "/forms/changeform.aspx" - 
       "/forms/registrationform.aspx" - 
       "/forms/changepassword.aspx" - 
       "/forms/renewform.aspx" - 
          HTTP::redirect "https://www.oursite.org[HTTP::uri]" 
       } 
    } 
 }
