The proposed patch is pretty short-sighted because it only treats one symptom, not the cause. Why does mod rewrite need to unescape these characters in the first place? Special characters like & and # do not mean the same as %26 and %23 within in the context of an URL. By unescaping, this information is being lost... At the very least, this unescaping should be optional. I think you can fix most issues by just using the 'escape' RewriteMap on the substitute, but this is far from practical as it needs to be set globally for the entire server. This rules it out for hosted environments where usually the most you get is .htaccess. Is there any reason why the built-in map functions (toupper, tolower, escape, unescape) still need a very redundant RewriteMap directive? So I guess the optimal solution would either: - Allow you to turn off this automatic unescaping with a rewriterule flag (or similar) in htaccess - or Allow you to use the built-in map functions directly without requiring those redundant RewriteMap directives -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
