Parsing non-English URLs

[Sam Crawford]

It's not one that I'm familiar with, but if it were me, I'd try
running varnishlog whilst putting a request for one of these URLs
through. See how varnish prints it out in the RxURL field. This might
give you some clues as how to specify it in the rules.

Thanks,

Sam
