Try this: 


when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
  if { ... } {
    TCP::respond "HTTP/1.0 302 Found\r\nServer: BIG-IP\r\nLocation: http://www.someplace.com\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n"
    TCP::close
    return
  }
}

As far as the URI is concerned, if you are not using the HTTP profile, you'll have to do a TCP::collect and pull that out of payload, which will likely be a far greater effort than splitting off a new virtual and using the http profile.
