iRule recognize blank space in URI?

ok, I am back, strange problem.

 

 

Test request I am sending:

 

 

[root@bigip1:Active] config telnet 10.10.50.203 80 Trying 10.10.50.203...

 

Connected to 10.10.50.203.

 

Escape character is '^]'.

 

GET /vMoD/vMoDGenres?title=R and B HTTP/1.0 ^]

 

telnet> q

 

Connection closed.

 

 

Seeing in the ltm log:

 

 

Mar 24 15:13:31 tmm tmm[824]: Rule vmod_search : URI was matched. Result: /vMoD/vMoDGenres?title=R and B Mar 24 15:13:31 tmm tmm[824]: Rule vmod_search : It worked! /vMoD/vMoDGenres?title=R%20and%20B

 

 

 

But the tcpdump shows:

 

 

15:13:31.821046 10.10.50.202.38458 > 10.10.50.236.http: P [tcp sum ok] 1:58(57) ack 1 win 4380 (DF) (ttl 255, id 50573, len 109)

0x0050 2532 3061 6e64 2532 3042 2061 6e64 2042 %20and%20B.and.B

 

0x0060 2048 5454 502f 312e 300d 0a0d 0a .HTTP/1.0....

 

 

You can see that BIG-IP is putting "and B" and the end of the URI.

 

I just can't figure out where it is padding that. I changed the logging and it shows the same if I comment out the "encoding" section. I am wondering if it is being padded after the rule is executed.

 

 

any help would be appreciated.
