This is how I do it on v11 (protocol var is from another iRule):

set uri_base [URI::basename [HTTP::path]]
if {$uri_base equals ""} {
   The URI::basename is /folder/
} elseif {$uri_base contains "."} {
   The URI::basename is *.* file
} else {
  HTTP::path "[HTTP::path]/"
  HTTP::respond 301 "Location" "${protocol}://[HTTP::host][HTTP::path]"
  return
}

Hi Vova,

do not redirect to 

${protocol}://[HTTP::host][HTTP::path]
but to 
[HTTP::path]

there is no need to send to the client the protocol and the server name of the next resource, the client will request with the same protocol and server name as the current one.

with this format, you optimize F5 performance and you prevent rewrite tasks on reverse proxy if there is one with different hostname.
