Comment (by tohide):

 I'm possibly seeing a similar issue using 3.03 on ubuntu 10.04

 I have the following in vcl_recv

   if (req.request == "POST" && req.url ~ "^/foo/bar") {
     ban("req.url ~ "+regsuball(req.url, "code=cotn:([^\&]+)",".*\1.*"));
     return (pass);
 }

 i.e. if a POST is done to
 /foo/bar/?code=cotn:VOD.L&param2=value2&param3=value3

 I'm expecting to see in ban.list :-

 req.url ~ /foo/bar?.*VOD.L.*

 This helps me invalidate a number of URLs that relate to that 'code' under
 that URI structure following a new update.

 However, I'm seeing

 req.url ~ /foo/bar?.*:VOD.L.*&param1=value1&param2=value2

 i.e. I'm seeing values appearing which the regex seems to suggest
 shouldn't be there.
