Summary: False positive: /.*\&adtype=

Initial Comment:
URL: http://kleinanzeigen.ebay.de/anzeigen/

The search form ("Finden") has a hidden input field "adType". Any attempts to use the search for customer ads on kleinanzeigen.ebay.de are blocked as the pattern "/.*\&adtype=" in the {+block-as-image} section of default.action will match and return a gif to the client.

Further experimens reveal similar problems with "Gesuche" (want ads). Clicking on "Gesuche" somewhere in the category tree (f.e. navigate to http://kleinanzeigen.ebay.de/anzeigen/s-autos/c216) cause the the browser to request something like http://kleinanzeigen.ebay.de/anzeigen/s-suchanfrage.html?keywords=&categoryId=216&locationStr=&locationId=&radius=0&sortingField=SORTING_DATE&adType=WANTED&posterType=&pageNum=1&action=find&maxPrice=&minPrice= 
Again, the parttern "/.*\&adtype=" in default.action will match the adType=WANTED parameter in the url and block the request.

Thanks for the report.

I changed the offending pattern to "rover.ebay./.*\&adtype=".
