The HTTP::retry iRule converts its input into UTF8. If the input is a bytearray using some other locale, then bytes with the high-bit set may be corrupted. The resulting corrupted request will then be sent to the server as the retried request.
Non-ascii characters may be corrupted when HTTP::retry is used.
The input to HTTP::retry is a TCL bytearray rather than a TCL string. The output from some commands i.e. HTTP::payload is a bytearray. Strings are in the UTF8 format, Bytearrays are not.
None
The HTTP::retry command no longer corrupts input that isn't in the UTF8 format.
