in the second case (the url contains many symbols such as %...etc) .. I got the timeout issue.
Are you sure it is time out? In the NET tab, there is a status column. Proxy would normally set that to a 503 or something if the url fails to match allowedhosts.
Is the proxy working at all? Aside from that you need some debug lines in there. Notice: This email and any attachments are confidential.
