NimbostratusReading HTTP::uri with a pound sign
Trying to add to a redirect rule that triggers on the uri of
/Offerings/Pages/DeliveryMethods.aspx?PageView=Sharedtable
As you can see, there's a sign near the end of the string. I'm aware that the HTTP::uri variable reads up to the sign and then won't read the rest. Is there a variable i can use, or a way to script the HTTP::uri variable to ignore the as a comment when it reads in the string?

The string after the hash is an anchor tag. HTTP user agents aren't supposed to include the anchor in the URI in requests. So it's not that HTTP::uri strips it off--the browser generally does. You can verify this behavior by using a browser plugin like HttpFox for Firefox or Fiddler.
Here's a quick confirmation using curl to make a command line request to the virtual server and logging of the HTTP::uri value:
curl -v '1.1.1.1/test.123'
< HTTP_REQUEST>: /test.123
curl -v '1.1.1.1/test.123my_anchor'
< HTTP_REQUEST>: /test.123my_anchor
