Detection by IDS/IPS/WAF(Web Application Firewall) is evaded by

I'm curious, which IDS/IPS/WAF products have you tested that were not
able to properly normalize the URL parameters?

Which products are affected? If the IDS/IPS/WAF products are able to
normalize the traffic properly, where is the problem?
