If you want to set the URI you'd use HTTP::uri "/new_uri". The square braces force the interpreter to run HTTP::uri as a command and substitute the value. So you'd get a runtime error with that.

Also, it would make sense to rewrite the URI only if the first two cases aren't matched. Can you try moving the HTTP::uri command to a default case in the switch statement: 


when HTTP_REQUEST {

    Check the requested URI set to lowercase
   switch -glob "[string tolower [HTTP::uri]]" {

      "/test1" {
          Requested URI /test1
         HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://www.testone.com/"
      }
      "/test2" {
          Requested URI /test2
         HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://www.testtwo.com/"
      }
      default {
         HTTP::uri "/"
      }
   }
}
