* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The plugin was using the url with the url rewriting portion
when matching for request routing was taking place.  This
caused some requests that should have matched to not match.
Problem conclusion
The plugin was modified so that it ignored the url rewriting
portion of the url when it was time to do matching for
route determination.
