Do you want to take the whole URI and set it as a parameter value? If so, you should URI encode the value: 

 
 when HTTP_REQUEST { 
     Check if the URI set to lower case starts with /anything 
    if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] starts_with "/anything" } { 
  
        Rewrite the URI to /default.aspx with a new parameter and the value set to the URI encoded original URI 
       HTTP::uri "/default.aspx?original_uri=[URI::encode [HTTP::uri]]"  
    } 
 }
