That's a good point. I'd prefer to see the query string preserved in that case. So, QSD only has an effect if the rule contains no query string. Another point is that removing the query string isn't just cosmetic but can have an effect on cacheability. http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec13.html#sec13.9 -- noodl
