Re: [users@httpd] reverse proxy fails on uri escape sequences

["Lewis Hoffman" <lewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Axel,

The story is that the receiving application is processing the request as:

http://<server>/<attribute1>/<attribute2>/<attribute3>

so if I want a literal '/' in one of those attributes it has to be encoded otherwise the request processing doesn't break things up properly.  

with LogLevel up to info, I get this in the apache error log:

[Wed Jun 28 10:44:32 2006] [info] [client 192.168.1.10] found %2f (encoded '/') in URI (decoded='/c/wiki/new/this/that'), returning 404

so it seems that this is intentional behavior and probably not a bug persay.  I may have to redesign the application.. 

thanks for all your help.

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.

No attachment to a rewrite rule.  Unfortunately, changing to a simple proxy pass yields exactly the same behavior.  It seems as if somethings going wrong higher up in the chain..

thanks for looking into this.
