Try this to start ;-

    if { [HTTP::host] eq "abc.com" && [HTTP::path] eq "/"} { 
       HTTP::uri /article12/
    } 
}

Although it sounds as if your webserver is also performing 302 redirects unders some circumstances......

No, I suspect this may fix your problem (note have removed trailing /);-

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    if { [HTTP::host] eq "abc.com" && [HTTP::path] eq "/"} { 
       HTTP::uri /article12
    } 
}

If that doesn't work please explain what is happening ie server is sending a redirect ? What Location header?
