dash in URI breaking pool selection?

Perhaps another answer would be to always decode URI's before checking them against fixed strings, where encodable characters are in the fixed string?

e.g. (Quick hack, you can do better)

   
   when HTTP_REQUEST {      
          if { [HTTP::path] equals "/" } {      
            pool unix_servers      
      } elseif { [string tolower [decode_uri [HTTP::uri]]] starts_with "/tv/my-link" } {       
      pool windows_servers      
      } elseif { [string tolower [decode_uri[HTTP::uri]]] starts_with "/tv" } {      
      pool unix_servers      
      } else {      
              pool windows_servers        
               }          
         }      
          
   

Edit:

Note that decode_uri is a v4 function. v9 and above should use URI::decode
