Rule:  WEB-IIS %2E-asp access

Summary:  Google toolbar encodes period when checking on updates to web
pages.

Impact: N/A

Detailed Information:  It appears the Google toolbar checks for the
"freshness" of a page, and encodes the URL of the page as part of the
request to the Google server.  This triggers the alert, but there is no
attack.

This is a known issue with this rule. You can try this fix, which I have 
proposed a while ago:

alert tcp $EXTERNAL_NET any -> $HTTP_SERVERS $HTTP_PORTS 
(msg:"WEB-IIS %2E-asp access"; flow:to_server,established; 
uricontent:".asp"; nocase; content:"%2Easp"; nocase; 
pcre:"/^\s*[A-Z]+[ \t]+[^\s\?]*(?i)%2Easp\b/m"; 
reference:bugtraq,1814; reference:cve,CAN-1999-0253; 
classtype:web-application-activity; sid:makeyourown; rev:makeyourown;)
