Redirecting based on http verb and URL

[Martin Boer]

I'd use ~ instead of == in the first if statement. If doubt 'equal' will 
fit a regular expression where 'looks something like' will.

And perhaps  'website' instead of 'webiste', but that may have come from 
you disguising the url.

Hope either one of them helps. :)
