Dash in a data group list name
I recently wrote a few rules which referenced new data group lists, and things bugged out on me. (That's what I get for slapping new iRules into production without full testing, confident in my understanding of iRule logic. D'oh!) After some frustration and head-smacking, I realized that the log entries' "no such variable" references only mentioned the variable names up to the dash.
Why, then, am I even able to put a dash in the name at all?? Is this a bug, or is there a reason for it to be allowed which I am completely missing here.
Thanks,
