    It is the correct list :)

    Hmmmm, interesting! I just applied a fix for this false positive
in plugins/grep/strangeParameters.py :

'''
...
        if 'wicket:' in parameter:
            #
            #   The wicket framework uses, by default, strange URLs like this:
            #
https://www.DOMAIN.com/?wicket:bookmarkablePage=:com.DOMAIN.SUBDOMAIN.web.pages.SignInPage
            #
&wicket:interface=:0:signInForm::IFormSubmitListener::;jsessionid=7AC76A46A86BBC3F5253E374241BC892
            #
            #   Which are strange in all cases, except from wicket!
            #
            return False
'''

    You should see this change if you update to the latest version.

    Thanks for contributing! If you keep reporting things like this,
we'll keep fixing them until w3af works as expected for you and the
rest of the community :)
