AltocumulusHi all,
problem solved. Was not a BigIP issue at all. The special char substitution was being done by an IIS server that was in one of the pools. The URL it was being directed to was referencing a directory but it didn't contain a trailing / in the URI so IIS was expecting it to be an application or content. Changing the rule to check for this and add a trailing / when required has fixed this. IIS was also translating the - to %2D in it's 301 response back to the bigip which in turn was sent to WebSphere, hence the WebSphere error that contained the %2D translation of the - in the original URI.
All fixed.
Craig
