To answer my own question: it's a problem with Apache's super-stupid
feature to silently refuse all URLs with "%2f" in the path URI part
with a fake and misleading 404 message.
In 2.x you can disable it using the following directive:
AllowEncodedSlashes On
This however needs to be done on a server-wide level or in a virtual
host configuration, so you need access to one of those.

I should add that "?" (%3f), for example, works as expected:
- mod_rewrite works (no 404, gets passed to index.php)
- "path" segments get split properly into key/value pairs
- it gets properly unencoded:
[_params:protected] => Array
(
[controller] => controller
[action] => action
[key] => val?ue
[module] => default
)

Hi!
Do parameter values which contain slashes using mod_rewrite work
for anyone?
If I use:
http://host/controller/action/key/value/
everything works as expected. However if the value has a slash in
it, like:
http://host/controller/action/key/val%2fue/
I get a 404 Not Found! :/
"The requested URL /controller/action/key/val/ue/ was not found on
this server."
Oddity 1: Why even 404, shouldn't everything go to index.php?
Oddity 2: Why is the slash unescaped in the error message?
My Apache configuration:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1
Any ideas?
