The baidu spider seems to be adding ¤ to end of some crawled urls (it seems that it happens with urls containing single unicode character as the last character)

The baidu-requested url looks like this:

site.com/abc/ä¤

while

site.com/abc/ä is the valid url and as linked from many places on my site.

The internal problem is that a different route is matched for this kind of url and an unhandled exception occurs.

I would not like to lose baidu because of too many 500 errors on the site.

I would like to change the requested URL to a different URL by removing the added character before any ASP.NET MVC processing of the request starts.

Can I write a request filter/http module or something similar in ASP.NET MVC to remove the trailing '¤' from the urls? I would not like to alter my routes to counter-hack this behavior.
