Incidentally, I should point out that using string.lower(adrparams^.fullrequest) as the value of req is not very sophisticated. You might want to try taking string.nthword(req, 2) instead. This gives you the requested path, which is usually what one is interested in.

The danger is that by looking at the *whole* request, one may get a false positive. For instance, if the referrer page contains ".html" (which is extremely likely), the preprocessor will reject the request on that basis, which is not the desired behavior. Mark Stracke and I just got bit by this. m.
