    HTTP::path
    should be fine for the rewrite, and generally, is preferred (since it maintains any request parameters). I recommend adding logging, as in:

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
    log local0. "host = [HTTP::host]; path = [HTTP::path]"
    
    if { [string tolower [HTTP::host]] eq "xyz.com" and [HTTP::path] eq "/sme/mobile-webconsole" } {
        log local0. "  .. matches"
        HTTP::path "/mobile-webconsole"
    }
}

    to see what's going on.
