Wildcard Xpath matches with CDATA content

Question

When I try to use a content match for an XML tag that has CDATA text, the wildcard feature doesn't work. Is this a bug?

ie.

Match Statement:
<URL>*</URL>

Response:
<URL><![CDATA[http://domain.com]]></URL>

I cannot use XPath match for content for this case. For any elements that doesn't contain CDATA works.

This is one of the lines from the XML that is failing(changed to make it an invalid link):

<common:uri><![CDATA[http://domain.com/static/article?id=B003196&year=2001&make=Acura&model=NSX&engineBase=3.0 L GAS&type=B&target=TSB&tknId=04878b418d4323424247e43&token=a35b7daf2a05e8cf21c&tknCrt=50346691a89fbae173dc1f586533423]]></common:uri>

Hi!ok.. and this is part of a larger xml structure that is being asserted with an xpath assertion? Is this the only element that has a wildcard in the expected content?regards,/Oleeviware.com

Yes,  It is apart of a larger structure and there are MANY links that need to have the wildcard assertion applied.  I had one file that had over 80 of these links that needed to have a wildcard assertion applied.

Were you able to reproduce this?  Do I need to post my entire assertion and response?
