What I did notice though, is that replacing the %2F with / did work. What's the story about this %2F ? Unfortunately I'll have to pass on this one. If no-one else replies, you could do a test using Apache 2.2.2, and possibly file a bug report. You may have more luck filing a bug report after having tested against Apache 2.2.2 since the development effort is targeted at that version. -ascs ________________________________ From: lewis.hoffman@xxxxxxxxx [mailto:lewis.hoffman@xxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Lewis Hoffman Sent: Wednesday, June 28, 2006 6:10 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [users@httpd] reverse proxy fails on uri escape sequences No attachment to a rewrite rule.
