Any instance of apache's mod_rewrite will bork up the request URL for
anything behind the rewrite. The server or client code behind a rewrite
will only see the rewritten URL and not the original request URL.

Why not just pack the signed string in with the payload? You would then
have rules on verification instead of normalization. The client gets to
sign the raw URL (or whatever bits, really) however it wants to, and the
server can decide if the signed bits adequately cover the full query or
not.
