RedirectMatch escaping AMP ?

[David Tkacik <dtkacik@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Guys,

I have a condition like this:

RedirectMatch ^/g/(.*) https://www.${APACHE_HOSTNAME}/folder1/?ec=$1&ea=EBH&el=GCC

So when I do CURL to that virtualhost running that condition like this https://www.example.com/g/1234

it gives me back this:

https://www.example.com/folder1/?ec=1234&ea=EBH&el=GCC

Is there a way to escape this ? Why it's substituting the "&amp ;" ?

Many Thanks !

David
