Hi Aditya,

You were almost there, you don't need to set 

HTTP::uri
and the final 
}
to close the HTTP_REQUEST event was missing. I've also remove some necessary parenthesis and the was no advantage in setting 
$newUri
other than perhaps readability. 

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    set var1 "xxx/yyy" 
    if {[HTTP::uri] contains $var1} {
        HTTP::uri [string map -nocase [list $var1 ""] [HTTP::uri]]
        pool Pool_1
    }
}
