Hi there,Yesterday i was stucked on an issue with mod_rewrite when i realized the problem actually was : how does apache deals with url-encoded forward slashes ( "/" => "%2F" ) in URIs. If a such slash character is in the query string, there's no problem, but if it's on the "path part" of the URI, what does it mean?
For example : http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2%2Ffaq/Does it look for a directory named "2.2/faq" (with the slash making part of the name) ?
Or is it simply forbidden? In my case, i had to redirect the following /folder/anything to /cgi-bin/abc.cgi?anythingI first thought that "anything" should be fully escaped to make a single data block, so "any/thing" had to be "any%2Fthing" But apache didn't execute my rewrite rule, it didn't even looked at my .htaccess. If i drop the .htaccess and put the equivalent configuration in a <Directory> directive into the main conf, same thing. Seems that when an escaped slash in the "path part" of URI, it means "error, don't go further".
