There's potentially a few things going on here. In most BIG-IP versions, changing the uri value using the [HTTP::uri] "something" syntax will change the flow context, but will not actually change [HTTP::uri] from its original value. Strange I know. So changing the uri within the event should cause the uri to change in the context of the event, but you won't be able to see those changes by logging the value of [HTTP::uri]. Also, a uri will always start with "/", so by changing it to "PPPP" without a leading "/" would likely break the request.
