Filetype detected incorrectly in ASM because of dot in URL

Question

Our application has lot of URLs' that has dot '.' in URLs' like:

/hca/int/mobile/int/pic.mobile.mediamanager.loadjot

the dot in URL makes F5 ASM think 'loadjot' in the URL as a file type.

How can we tackle this issue?

Kindly help.
