URLScan isn't rejecting it based on ".", it's rejecting the URL because you
required all URLs to have extensions (access to / is not counted as an
extension due to how URLScan interacts with IIS)
I suggest you reconsider the use of the "AllowExtensions" feature of URLScan
on IIS6 because it is not as good as the built-in support of IIS6.
See this URL for a comparison.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/tools/urlscan.mspx
On IIS6, Web Service Extensions allow you control of which binaries can
execute (and also the extensions that they are scriptmapped to). MIME Type
Restriction allow you control of which static file can be downloaded.
In other words, it is impossible to do the following things with URLScan,
but it is easy with IIS6's built-in support:
1. Allow only foo.exe to run but not bar.exe or any other EXE
2. Allow the default document (whatever its extension) to execute but not
allow an extension-less URL to be executed or downloaded
3. Allow URLs with dots in them to be browsable, yet still block particular
URLs with dots in them.

Looks like I need a "." in the allow extensions settings
for the default document to run.
