In that case you don't want to be doing a redirect you are wanting to rewrite the host, uri, and links. You can use proxypass for this, https://devcentral.f5.com/codeshare/proxypass-v10-v11 or your own iRule that could look something like this.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if {[string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals "abc-abc.abc.com"}{
        HTTP::host "backendhostheader"
    }
    HTTP::uri [string map {/abc/ /xyc/} [HTTP::uri]]

    Disable the stream filter for all requests
   STREAM::disable

    LTM does not uncompress response content, so if the server has compression enabled
    and it cannot be disabled on the server, we can prevent the server from 
    sending a compressed response by removing the compression offerings from the client
   HTTP::header remove "Accept-Encoding"
}
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
       Replace http:// with https://
      STREAM::expression {@backendserver@abc-abc.abc.com@ @/xyc/@/abc/@}

       Enable the stream filter for this response only
      STREAM::enable
   }
}
