For GET it would be something like 

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    if {([HTTP::host] eq "www.abc.com") && ([HTTP::uri] eq "/app1/xyz/1.html") } { 
        HTTP::redirect "[HTTP::host]/app2/xyz/1.html" 
     } 
 }

Posts are a bit tricky but I suppose you can store POST request in a variable and and insert it on the new request.

Here is a method that was posted by the resident geniuses here in the forums

Hope this helps
