URL redirection question

Hi all,

I have arequirement to redirect 

https://mybook.honeybee.com//login
to 
https://myaccount.honeybee.com/login
. I am trying below irule but unfortunately it is not working. I think the function is creating the problem. Anyone faced same kind of issue before?

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { ([HTTP::host] equals "mybook.honeybee.com") and ([HTTP::uri] starts_with "//login")} {
        HTTP::respond 301 "Location" "https://myaccount.honeybee.com/login"
        return
    } 
}

    Hashtags are a fragment of the query portion of the URI.

     

    All browsers only use the locally to only display a section of the data queried with in the page. This means browsers will drop everything after the hashtag when they submit this information to the server and everything after the is not sent to the server, in this case F5.

     

    Try avoiding use of in your uri's.
