when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [HTTP::path] equals "/test" } {
        HTTP::path "/"
        pool test
    }
}

This will match exactly (and only) /test and nothing else.

You can use [HTTP::uri] to preserve any GET vars (if you don't care about GET vars [HTTP::path] is fine too of course). Here's one way to strip the first segment of the path and send the rest on. I broke it out into two statements in case that's easier to read, and there's a one-liner version of it at the end too.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/test/" } {
     This will find the position of the second slash (starts searching at position 1; first slash is position 0)
    set slashpos [string first / [HTTP::uri] 1]
     Substring from the position of the second slash through the end of the URI
    set newuri [substr [HTTP::uri] $slashpos]
     Here's the one-liner to accomplish the same thing (it was just easier to comment as two statements):
    set newuri [substr [HTTP::uri] [string first / [HTTP::uri] 1]]
    log local0. "New URI: $newuri"
    HTTP::uri $newuri
    pool test
}
}
