    Hi AbuAhmad,

    I missed something sorry. Could you please try below one:

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/xyz/web/apx/" && not ([HTTP::uri] equals "/xyz/web/apx/") } {
     drop
 }
}

Thank you Oguzy so much for your help, this one worked as requested. I added to it "HTTP::respond 403" instead of "drop" to give a meaningful message.

The client came back saying they can't block everyone passed apx/ :(

So I am going to use data groups to block certain directories until they provide the full list.

Thanks again for the help Oguzy.
