Colin, I've checked the codeshare section and it suggested to use the http:collect and http:payload parameters. I tried building one from scratch but kept getting errors on the irule.

 

 

Aaron, all the requests are POST so I commented the" if" statement out. So for the expression, I should use

 

STREAM::expression {@&@%26@}

 

instead of

 

STREAM::expression {@&@and@}

 

 

I'm not sure what you mean by "URL encoded".

 

 

Also, when I look at the raw data, i see a "&" but I when export it and view in html, it shows just "&". Which one should I filter for?

 

 

thanks so much for the quick response!
