A few things:

  1. The switch inclusion (-) operator should be at the end of the case, not the beginning.

  2. The -glob operator is effectively a wildcard match that could emulate a starts_with condition using an appropriately placed "*".

Example:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]] {
        "www.abc.com/xyz/def*" -
        "www.abc.com/xyz*" -
        "www.abc1.com/xyz/def*" -
        "www.abc2.com/xyz/def*" - 
        "www.abc3.com/xyz/def*" -
        "www.abc4.com/xyz/def*" - 
        "www.abc5.com/xyz/def*" - 
        "www.abc6.com/xyz/def*" -
        "www.abc7.com/xyz/def*" -
        "www.abc8.com/xyz/def*" {
            return
        } 
        default {
            HTTP::respond 302 location "https://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"
        }
    }
}
