Http requests with the question mark symbol "?" in the URL are not being blocked although disallowed in the URL character list
Hi; Http requests with the question mark symbol "?" in the URL are not being blocked although "?" isdisallowed in the URL character list. for example http://www.xyx.com/?/file.extension ...

You would either do that in an irule (on HTTP_REQUEST)
Or look at the
Security ›› Application Security : Parameters : Parameters List ›› Parameter Properties
for the * (wildcard) parameter
In the Name Meta Characters tab, select
Check characters on this parameter name
/ is already disallowed in the metacharacters

That question-mark isn't part of the URL - it is the Query Separator.
The URL is /
The Query String is /file.extension
