>Description:
I have upgraded Apache from version 1.3.6 to 1.3.11.

However one of my .htaccess Rules is no longer working. Here is the content of the .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /cgi-bin
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !81
RewriteRule (.+)$ http://www.esosoft.net:81/cgi-bin/$1 [P]

It simply passes every request to the server on port 81 via the proxy
and retuns the results.

It works just fine with URLs without a ?, but as soon as
it has to serve a request like: review?id=1376, the proxy
server gets the following request: review%3Fid=1376?id=1376 and obviously
returns a 404 error as it could not find the script...

Do you know what I have to change in my rules or if its a bug? As I haven't changed anything to the rules.....

Thank you

Michael
