Yep, before the request is passed to the web server, the /abc get stripped off and the host header gets changed.

To send a 404 back to the client when browsing to /, the following will do it. You can pimp this up as much as you need to

when HTTP_REQUEST {
	
	if {[HTTP::uri] equals "/"} {
	HTTP::respond 404 content "<HTML><BODY>404 Page Not Found</BODY></HTML>" noserver
	return
	}
	
	if {[HTTP::host] contains "example.com.au" } {
	if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/abc/" } {
	HTTP::uri [string range [HTTP::uri] 4 end]
	}
	HTTP::header replace Host "abc.com.au"
}
}
