Simple switch statement for URI redirection?

Hi all,

I've fumbled around and hitting brick walls. We want this application (by default) to go to website.com/irj/portal.

If website.com/abc is typed we want a http redirect

If website.com/123 is typed we want a http redirect.

I've read switch statement is more efficient than if elseif so I'm trying to get this working. Here's what I have:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {
     "/sap/opu" { 
           HTTP::redirect "http://nwgtw.corp.nielsen.com/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/FioriLaunchpad.html"
          }
     "/abc" { 
           HTTP::redirect "http://abc.com"
          }
     "/123" { 
           HTTP::redirect "http://123.com"
          }
     "/xyz" { 
           HTTP::redirect "http://xyz.com"
           }
 default {
          HTTP::redirect "https://website.com/irj/portal"
         }
   }
}

I tried removing default, tried "/" also tried "*" and all of them seem to be wanting to push this back to /xyz.com and I'm not quite sure why.

Any guidance here?

    Caching? Try this one:

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
    switch -glob [string tolower [HTTP::path]] {
        "/sap/opu" {
            HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://nwgtw.corp.nielsen.com/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/ui2/ushell/shells/abap/FioriLaunchpad.html" Cache-Control no-cache Connection close
        }
        "/abc" {
            HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://abc.com" Cache-Control no-cache Connection close
        }
        "/123" {
            HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://123.com" Cache-Control no-cache Connection close
        }
        "/xyz" {

            HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://xyz.com" Cache-Control no-cache Connection close

        } default {
            HTTP::respond 301 Location "https://website.com/irj/portal" Cache-Control no-cache Connection close
        } 
    }
}

    .
