Network Load Balancers are Layer 4 load balancers (TCP/UDP) - they do not understand HTTP and are not capable of making routing decisions by paths or any other aspect of the incoming request.
Customers who need solutions to perform Layer 7 load balancing (HTTP) should be advised to use Application Load Balancers. However, the ALB must terminate TLS in order to determine which target group to send requests to based on the payload. It can, of course, re-encrypt the backend requests with TLS in order to provide security in transit.
