URI matching "starts_with" not working in iRule

I am trying to select a pool based on a URI that begins with /token but it is not working. iRule and /var/log/ltm pasted below. Thanks in advance for help.

when HTTP_REQUEST {

snip

if {[string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/token"} {
    pool signon_https_pool member 1.2.3.4
    if { $logging } {
        log local0. "[LB::server addr] is the pool member selected for token URI"
    }
}
else {
    pool normal_https_pool
    if { $logging } {
        log local0. "[LB::server addr] Default pool picked"
    }
}
} +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Rule /Common/ifb_irule_apipoc_pool_select : [8143] ... is the client IP address Rule /Common/ifb_irule_apipoc_pool_select : [8143] HOST = hhh.hhh.hhh.hhh:8243 Rule /Common/ifb_irule_apipoc_pool_select : [8143] URI = /token Rule /Common/ifb_irule_apipoc_pool_select : ppp.ppp.ppp.ppp Default pool picked

    Hi Steve,

    The iRule looks good. Probably a problem within the 

    snip
    part or recent changes are not getting active (aka. open new TCP connections after changing the iRule).

    Another problem could be, that you're trying to select a specific member for the given pool and that active persist entries are still getting prefered. Last but not least make sure to assign a OneConnect Profile if you're trying to switch between members of the same pool.

    How about using a dedicated pool with just the 1.2.3.4 as member? This would eleminate many side effects...

    Cheers, Kai
