iRule switch confusion (Version 9.4.4)

So I've created an iRule using the switch statement, but for some reason my logic is failing for every conceivable match. Every condition falls through to the default case. What am I doing wrong?...

The curly braces around your switch condition causes it fail. 


when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/storefront/" } {
log local0. "/storefront/"
return
         Do nothing
    } else {
        switch [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {
"/" -
"/storefront" {
log local0. "/storefront"
HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://[HTTP::host]/storefront/home.ep" 
}
            "/us.website-sitemap.xml" -
            "/uk.website-sitemap.xml" -
            "/ca.website-sitemap.xml" -
            "/ie.website-sitemap.xml" -
            "/au.website-sitemap.xml" -
            "/row.website-sitemap.xml" -
            "/robots.txt" { 
log local0. "xml"
return 
}
            default {
log local0. "default"
HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://[HTTP::host]/storefront/error.ep?errorCode=404" 
}
        }
    }
}

You also don't need the "" (empty) condition. It'll never happen.
