Rookie needs help. iRule url redirection

I am a newbie with BigIP and not much of a coder either. I want to use BigIP to redirect traffic based on the url. If url contains tsa then goto one webpool and if it contains either tsa_test or tsa_train to goto another webpool. The base url is https. The webpools are http.

 

 

Can anyone help?

 

 

Thanks.

    Here is some more info. When going directly to the webserver which is straight http, the slash at the end of the url is automatically appended when you type the url in your browser address field and hit enter and you are directed to the web page. You can also manually add it with the same results. I also have a virtual server for http defined on the F5 LTM 1500. When you goto that virtual IP it behaves exactly the same as going directly to the http web server. Now, with the https virtual IP on the 1500, if you do not manually add the last /, you get the page not found error in your browser. The https virtual is going to the web servers using http, the https connection is only to the 1500.
