First, a switch statement is probably a better route. They are, I'm told, much faster in iRules than ifs. I'm also not sure what the second part of that responder is about (the ">http...").

This would cover both of the above scenarios:

        switch -glob [HTTP::uri] {
                "/abc*"  {
                        HTTP::respond 301 Location "
                }

        }

Response:

GET /abc HTTP/1.0

HTTP/1.0 301 Moved Permanently
Location: ">http://www.someplace.com/blah/blah/
