    For reasons I can't explain, string map is not matching [HTTP::uri]

    Since this is a simple prepend, you could do this instead

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [HTTP::host] starts_with "www.host.com"}{
        HTTP::uri "/abc[HTTP::uri]"
    }
}

In its simplest form, that would be

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    HTTP::uri [string map {"/test" "" } [HTTP::uri]]
}

Not sure if you need to make sure it starts with /test, or only applies to some host headers or what not, but that will remove /test from the URI

Great but not only I want to remove it from the URL but I want to select a pool on the basis of /test. Just like proxypass works in Apache. It decides a pool on the basis of first word in URL like http://10.50.171.8:80/test/Services..................... now VS will select a pool name TEST(or what ever) and omit the work /test from the url and send it to pool TEST. I will be always grateful if you combine this with your last comment.
