Hi,

Sorry if this is a repeat report, but if one fetches, for example:

http://us.battle.net/api/wow/realm/status?realm=Gurubasho

One would expect to get back something like {'realms':[]}, or possibly an error. Instead, all realms are returned.

Also, while I'm here, I'm passing "Accept-Encoding: gzip" and getting back well formed gzipped data, so that's good news, thanks!

What happens is that because the realm provided doesn't match any known realms, it treats the request as if there were no realms specified at all. This is working as intended.
