Parsing non-English URLs

Hello group,

I tried using the %-escaped syntax but it does not work for me. Here is the
rule that varnish totally ignores as if it doesn't exist:

===========================================================================================
   # cache AR taxonomy differently
     else if (req.url ==
"/%25D9%2588%25D8%25B3%25D9%2588%25D9%2585%25D8%25A7%25D8%25AA") {
      set beresp.http.X-Cacheable = "Yes";
      set beresp.ttl = 180m;
      return(deliver);
     }
 ==========================================================================================

The link exists, and even copying it in this syntax to the browser retrieves
the page, but the caching for 180 minutes does not work. Other rules with
only English URLS are working like a charm. Please help.

Thanks.
