sorry i may be lost but can't we just check double slash (//) or more?

e.g. 

[root@ve10:Active] config  b rule myrule list
rule myrule {
   when HTTP_REQUEST {
        switch -glob [HTTP::path] {
                "/uri" -
                "//*" { log local0. "[HTTP::path] is rejected"; reject }
                default { log local0. "[HTTP::path] is allowed" }
        }
}
}

[root@ve10:Active] config  cat /var/log/ltm

Mar 23 07:06:27 local/tmm info tmm[4950]: Rule myrule : /uri is rejected
Mar 23 07:06:29 local/tmm info tmm[4950]: Rule myrule : //uri is rejected
