I need to provide backward compatibility with the Adserver: I set up then a Rewrite rule (but tried also with ProxyPass) so that everything beginning with /html.ng and /event.ng is redirected to the Netscape server listening on another port. The problem is with URL like this one: http://this.host/event.ng/Type=click&ProfileID=13&RunID=302&AdID=73&GroupID=3&FamilyID=3&TagValues=152.239.244.245&Redirect=http:%2F%2Fsome.host For some strange reason Apache refuses to apply rewriting rules to this URL, due to the "%2F" contained there (at the end): my RewriteLog (level 9) is empty and as far as I can see there is no invocation of the Rewrite engine (nor of the Proxy engine for that matter). All I get is a 404 from the Apache server itself. In my logs I have this: 192.168.122.14 - - [31/Mar/1999:14:37:03 -0100] "GET /event.ng/Type=click&ProfileID=13&RunID=919&AdID=311&GroupID=3&FamilyID=1&TagValues=152.239.244.245&Redirect=http:%2F%2Fwww.some.host%2F HTTP/1.0" 404 434 while the error page shown by Apache substitutes the "%2F: with slashes: The requested URL /event.ng/Type=click&ProfileID=13&RunID=302&AdID=73&GroupID=3&FamilyID=3&TagValues=152.239.244.245&Redirect=http://www.some.host/ was not found on this server. If I replace the %2F in the URL with "/" (or with any other "%" encoded characters) everything works just fine. I suspect this is a bug: I browsed the FAQs & documentation but couldn't find a clue. >How-To-Repeat: Unfortunately our test servers are firewalled, so I can't give you an URL to try out. >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
