Priority: P2 Bug ID: 53196 Assignee: docs@httpd.apache.org Summary: Rewrite examples forget to encode the query string? Severity: normal Classification: Unclassified OS: Linux Reporter: alan.christopher.jenk...@gmail.com Hardware: PC Status: NEW Version: 2.4.1 Component: Documentation Product: Apache httpd-2 httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/remapping.html#fallback-resource "If, on the other hand, you wish to pass the requested URI as a query string argument to index.php, you can replace that RewriteRule with: RewriteRule (.*) index.php?$1 [PT,QSA]" should be: RewriteRule (.*) index.php?${encode:$1} [PT,QSA] since RewriteRule matches against the *decoded* url path (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule). That's the context I encountered the bug in. I think it applies to most of the other remapping examples that use $1. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/remapping.html#backward-compatibility http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/remapping.html#canonicalhost http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/remapping.html#archive-access-multiplexer http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/remapping.html#canonicalurl Note that that this doesn't apply to rewrite rules which map to full filesystem paths - i.e. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/rewrite/remapping.html#multipledirs> . No idea what you're supposed to do with substitutions in Redirect directives; it's not documented as supporting the ${encode:$1} syntax. Alias is fine though (same reason as above). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
