How do I do a 301 redirect to an exact URI only?

Question

I have seen other example irules for redirection that have an undesired behavior.&nbsp;
What I want is for abc.com, abc.com/home, abc.com/careers.html, etc. to all be redirected to def.com/locations.&nbsp;
The examples that I have seen so far would cause abc.com/something/aboutus.html to redirect to def.com/locations/something/aboutus.html.  Basically, anything in the requested URI would be appended to the redirected URI unless I had explicitly covered all possible cases in the first part of the irule.&nbsp;
I'm sure it's something simple that we're missing, but any tips on how to do this properly would be appreciated.&nbsp;
Thanks&nbsp;

If I understand your requirements, you want all requests to abc.com to be redirected to a single alternative URL regardless of the request-uri fragment supplied for the original request.  That is, http://abc.com/place/any/path/here?and=any&amp;query=parameters would be redirected to the exact URL http://def.com/locations.  If so: 
when HTTP_REQUEST {
    HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://def.com/locations"
}

Thanks.  That worked perfectly.  It looks like I just needed to remove the "[HTTP::uri]" from the end of the response command.
