Rule not working as expected

I have installed this rule on a virtual server for a Exchange 2010 Client Access Server. I am trying to block access to OWA on this VS. Code is below:     (code)   when HTTP_REQUEST {   ...

I was hoping that the HTTP::respond 401 would send a 401 error screen if the /owa URI was at the end of the URL.should we use ends_with instead of eq?

e.g. 

[root@iris:Active] config  b virtual bar list
virtual bar {
   snat automap
   pool foo
   destination 172.28.17.33:http
   ip protocol tcp
   rules myrule
   profiles {
      http {}
      tcp {}
   }
}

[root@iris:Active] config  b rule myrule list
rule myrule {
   when HTTP_REQUEST {
        if {[string tolower [HTTP::uri]] ends_with "/owa"} {
                HTTP::respond 401
        }
}
}

[root@iris:Active] config  curl -i http://172.28.17.33/test/owa
