ASM Extracting parameters from a URL using a specific delimiter

Hi have an application that receives HTTP GET parameters using the following format:

 

http://url/verify?1.8000

 

Is it possible to create a parameter name called "verify" and have "1.8000" as the parameter value? ASM wants to add the parameter value as a parameter, but I'd like to use "?" as the delimiter.

 

Thanks in advance

    you can create parameter but there is no option to save values. In case you need these values to be recorded so an action can be taken on them, you may need iRule (depending on what you are doing, and the task is complex, I recommend contacting f5 professional services).

    Thanks  for your response.

     

    I don't need to record the response, only validate its content. I'd like to create a parameter named "verify" as a user input value, but due to the delimiter being a "?" ASM doesn't pick it up as a parameter. If it was http://url/verify=1.8000 it would make life much easier.
