Pool Selection not working using Irule

Question

Hi All,&nbsp;
I've build a quite simple irule for pool selection, it works for one pattern &amp; for other it's failing recklessly which is quite surprising as there's nothing fancy about other pattern.&nbsp;
IRULE:&nbsp;
when HTTP_REQUEST {
        if {  [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/ChatWS/" || [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/chat/"} {
                pool integrate.pool
            }&nbsp;
The pool selection works fine for pattern "/ChatWS/" , however it fails to select pool correctly for "/chat/" pattern.&nbsp;
Following Debugs exhibit traffic sent to correct pool:&nbsp;
May 29 11:38:58 slb01a info tmm2[14681]: Rule /Common/chat-irule : /chat/?717208 /Common/integrate.pool x.x.x.x
May 29 11:39:06 slb01a info tmm2[14681]: Rule /Common/chat-irule : /chat/?717209 /Common/integrate.pool x.x.x.x&nbsp;
However, I checked the HTTP debugs from actual server. Traffic never reached to server, instead being sent to default pool associated with VIP.&nbsp;
Any inputs will be highly appreciated. &nbsp;

How about re-writing the iRule
when HTTP_REQUEST {
     switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {
       "/chatws/* -
       "/chat/*" { pool integrate.pool }
     }
 }

I hope this helps
