Just to be clear, the web service was deployed with a URL template that included an incorrect regular expression, correct?

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: IWS Rest Service Get and 404 Error when Special Characters in a Parameter
The problem turned out to be that IWS was routing requests using a regular expression and the regex didn't handle the dash correctly.
HI All,
I have a customer who has a REST service deployed with IWS that is being
passed a URL parameter that contains a dash. The call works when no dashes
are in the parameters, but the service throws a 404 error right away when a
dash or other special character is found, even when the value is URL
encoded.
