    From your original post, I see that you are using upper case letters in your data group. When you are attempting to match a lower case HTTP::uri against it, it'll never match. Change your data group entries to use all lower case letters and see if that makes a difference for you.

Though it may be more process intensive, you could change the 'equals' in your iRule to 'contains'. This way it will match a portion of the URI string and not the entire thing verbatim. This sounds like it may solve your problem.

Thanks for your answer Cory. However your suggestion doesn´t solve my problem. Still url´s containing "?" characters are no managed in the right way. Thanks.
