You can do a redirect:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains "/app1/" } {
HTTP::uri [string map {"/app1/" "/"} [HTTP::uri]]
HTTP::respond 301 Location "http://[HTTP::host][HTTP::uri]"
}
}

You can remove the "/app1/" and send the request to the server:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains "/app1/" } {
HTTP::uri [string map {"/app1/" "/"} [HTTP::uri]]
}
}
