User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/530.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/2.0.172.31 Safari/530.5
Build Identifier: 3.0.10

When special characters are used in referrer, the website is running on IIS with Google Analytics, it results after viewing one page a 400 bad request error. The error stays until deleting utmz cookie or until its expiration (which is 6 months I think). It makes the affected websites completly unusable. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on the provided link
2. Navigate to another page
3. 
Actual Results:  
Bad request

Expected Results:  
Bad request

Tested on Windows XP, Vista 32 and 64 bit with different configurations.
Sorry for the mixup, the expected result is: 200 OK, not Bad request.
