>Number: 1103 >Category: mod_rewrite >Synopsis: mod_rewrite can't redirect URL's containing %2F >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: apache (Apache HTTP Project) >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: apache >Arrival-Date: Mon Sep 8 17:50:01 1997 >Originator: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Organization: apache >Release: 1.2.0 >Environment: Solaris and Linux >Description: If there is a %2F (escaped '/') anwhere within a URL and it's redirected with mod_rewrite, Apache will return an error instead of redirecting it. This causes problems when we try to redirect a GET form submission and one of the form variables contains a pathname.
This is probably because mod_rewrite calls unescape_url(), which deliberately croaks for %2F. >How-To-Repeat: Add this to a config file: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/foo http://www.apache.org/ [R] Try this URL: http://localhost/foo%2F >Fix: Provide an alternative to unescape_url() that doesn't do anything special for %2F. %0 >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
