I'm researching an odd issue on a DNN/Evoq 9.3.2 instance where one of the portals is rewriting a part of the URL if certain query strings are attached. It is rewriting it to add the query string paramater name to be a subdirectory, then appending the parameter value to the end of the URL. However, it is ONLY happening to parameter names that do not begin with utm, which makes me believe it must be something analyticts related?

For example, this URL:

www.example.com//Blog/Details/article-title?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=CampaignName&_hsenc=p2ANqtz

Is rewriting and trying to load:

www.example.com//Blog/Details/article-title/_hsenc/?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=CampaignName?p2ANqtz

This happens to any query string that does not begin with utm, so if I add a &utm_foo=test it appends it correctly, but if I do &foo_foo=test it rewrties the URL to add /foo_foo/ as a subdirectory.

Any thoughts? I've checked for modules, page header tags, web.config URL rewriter rules, the skin to no avail.

FYI this is expected behavior, and can be changed in Settings > SEO > Expressions > Keep in Querystring Regular Expression
