Note that this patch broke certain RewriteRules out there, which proxy URLs with path parameters (http://foo/bar;param?query). It might be questionable if the Rules were written wrong in the first place, but they are broken by the update to 2.0.55 now. For example, I have something like this (shortened): RewriteMap e int:escape RewriteRule ^/+(.*) \ http://backend/${e:$1}?i=${e:%{REMOTE_ADDR}}%{ENV:NEW_QUERY} [P,NE] If $1 contains a ';', it is escaped by the map to %3B but no longer unescaped by mod_proxy. A possible solution would be, of course to be more careful with the rule (splitting at the ;). A more general solution would be to add ; to the safe T_OS_ESCAPE_PATH characters in gen_test_char.c. I'd prefer to do the latter but dunno if there may be problems on non-unices.
