Hello Thiyagu,

So, You can rewrite the requested URI before it's sent to the node with something like this:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if {[HTTP::uri] starts_with "/URI1/"}{
    set uri [string range [HTTP::uri] 5 end]
    HTTP::uri $uri

    log local0. "new URI: https://[HTTP::host]$uri"
    }
    }

Regards,
