Query string getting changed

We use a third party service which returns a URL in an email like:

http://www.domain.co.uk/retrieve-quote.aspx?cid=tela04NrLRCEB4YSJaHNnrmMgfzhKGWDQMNWU9gA4LoIZ4xkAdjDj9NQxK9NokSj&pid=hzRtwgPKiGFXnqVI78upf3QmpexmqtkJ0sYPtE0Tam8%3d

When you click on the link and it takes you to the page on the website (built on Umbraco 4.9), the URL in the address bar is now:

https://www.domain.co.uk/retrieve-quote.aspx?cid=tela04nrlrceb4ysjahnnrmmgfzhkgwdqmnwu9ga4loiz4xkadjdj9nqxk9noksj&pid=hzrtwgpkigfxnqvi78upf3qmpexmqtkj0sypte0tam8=

I'm not sure is this is an Umbraco issue, or an IIS issue, but the query string is now lowercase and the last 3 digits have been changed.

The only rewrites we have are directory URL's are set to true in the config, and we are redirecting some old URL's to new one's, but this URL has stayed the same.

Eventually found the problem which was some 3rd party URL rewriting code that was installed after Umbraco. This was changing all URL's to lowercase and not Umbraco. We've since got the 3rd party to change their code and all is ok now.

The querystring is being changed because it is url encoded, the %3d at the end of the first URL is the code for the equals sign
