Losing persistence based on character in URI

The following URI seems to be causing the persistence to get thrown off on a request that follows the 404 URI:

 

 

These 404 requests were generated by an error in a property file where two equals were added instead of one.

 

ex. filelocation==/com/taylor/resources/common/graphics

 

instead of filelocation=/com/taylor/resources/common/graphics

 

 

/readingplus/%3dcom/taylor/resources/common/graphics/Wyes.gif

 

 

 

Is it a possiblility the tcl command findstr or related is causing an issue with a %3d?

 

 

As we are removing the bad file location in our applets and they are being downloaded to the clients, tha errors are going away.

    There shouldn't be any reason that the findstr command would do anything but return the string value that was in the parameter. I don't see how the %3d would have been introduced due to the findstr command in this instance.

     

     

    Perhaps you could provide more detail as to what your overall iRule setup looks like.
