Data Groups for HTTP redirects -- can't find element in DG with class match

I am trying to get an iRule to look at a data group and if it finds a match, redirect to the value in the element, otherwise do a standard redirect including the URI. Here's the iRule I built and a sample of the elements in my data group.

 

When I run traffic through the iRule it shows that srcLocBoolean = 0 and $destLoc is NULL

 

What am I missing?

 

===== iRule ===== when HTTP_REQUEST { log local0. "Entering iRule" set incomingURI [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] log local0. "iRule incoming URI = $incomingURI" set destLoc [class match -value -- $incomingURI contains DG_Redirects] set srcLocBoolean [class match $incomingURI contains DG_Redirects] log local0. "iRule class Match Boolean = $srcLocBoolean" log local0. "iRule Destination Location = $destLoc" if { $srcLocBoolean eq "1" } then { log local0. "iRule Redirecting [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri] to $destLoc" HTTP::redirect $destLoc

 

} else { HTTP::redirect [HTTP::uri] } }

 

===== Data Group element ===== "; := ";, "; := ";,

    In varibale you mentioned to match URI but in class its full URL.

    Try below iRule...

         class myRedirects_dg { 
        "/how-it-works https://new.domain/new-base-dir/pages/about"
        "/contact https://new.domain/new-base-dir/pages/help"
        }

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
       set destLoc [findclass [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] myRedirects_dg]
       if { $destLoc ne "" }{
       HTTP::redirect [getfield $destLoc " " 2][HTTP::uri] Connection Close
          unset destLoc
           } else {
               HTTP::redirect https://new.domain/new-base-dir[HTTP::uri] 
        }
    }

      Still no luck. I was using URI and the contains option to be more greedy about the search. I can use the elements exactly from the Data Group if that's easier.

       

      ===== Data Group item ===== "; := ";,

       

      ==== iRule ===== when HTTP_REQUEST { log local0. "Entering iRule" set incomingURI [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] log local0. "iRule incoming URI = $incomingURI" set destLoc [findclass [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] DG_Redirects log local0. "iRule class Match Boolean = $srcLocBoolean" log local0. "iRule Destination Location = $destLoc" if { $destLoc ne "" } { log local0. "iRule Redirecting [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri] to [getfield $destLoc " " 2]" HTTP::redirect [getfield $destLoc " " 2] } else { HTTP::redirect [HTTP::uri] log local0. "iRule Redirecting [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri] to [HTTP::uri]" } }
