Don't wait for this bug. As long as no one has a good idea how to handle this, there will be no patch.
Here the commit message for the revert: Revert url decoding+simplifying before matching of mod_rewrite/mod_redirect - Lot of regressions (we forgot to reencode the result) - Generic problem: after decode and rewrite "a?b?c": which '?' was the path?query seperator? - Possible solution: only decode printable characters (without '?'), and encode the result; do not encode the '%' of a not decoded character. - Still a problem with path simplifying, it seems many people use urls like this: http://server1/http%3a//server2/xxx and rewrite the path into the querystring. - Probably only usable with an extra config option => Do NOT use rewrite/redirect to protect specific urls. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
