If you capture something with a normal rewriterule, it has already been decoded. If you capture against %{THE_REQUEST} in a rewritecond, it's still escaped as the client originally sent it. So if you have some problem where not specifying [B] is broken, and specifying [B] is also broken, you can often avoid the backref escaping issue by capturing %{THE_REQUEST} in a condition and using %1. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: docs-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: docs-h...@httpd.apache.org
