first line works. all queries get their ? striped except for those containing ads or open-id .question mark stays for those
second line doesnt. i need http://www.site.com:80/server-status?auto to be completely ignored and left the way it is

where am i going wrong here?

hit me up on icq. $$$ for the solution 237055440
