* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The IIS and Domino plugins were using the uri and query
string during request routing determination.  As a result,
rules in the plugin could incorrectly match patterns found
in the query string producing incorrect route determination.
Problem conclusion
Separate out the query string from the uri on Domino/IIS
webservers.  Then only use the uri for route determination.
