[users@httpd] URL-Rewrite Problem
I have a problem with rewriting certain urls which contains special characters.Please have a look at the following urls
RewriteRule ^/Football/Quarter-Reports%C2%A0 /Football/Quarter-Reports [R=301,L]
The problem is the server interprets it differently as the special characters change the url.
If I changer the rule to something like RewriteRule ^/Football/Trend-Reports(.*) or [a-zA-Z0-9-]*
it will not redirect properly.
Some another examples are given below.
1) RewriteRule ^/Tennis/Play/xyx-xyz-s-Winning-game%20target= /Tennis/Play/xyx-xyz-s-Winning-game /Tennis/Play/xyx-xyz-s-Winning-game [R=301,L]
2) RewriteRule ^/Football/xyz-xyz-to-Play/Fall-2008-Ready-to-Play/STAERK/ST%C3%86RK /Football/xyz-xyz-to-Play/Fall-2008-Ready-to-Play/STAERK/STAERK
Does anybody has any experience with this? Please suggest some solutions.

I agree with Jonathan but in mean time you can try this
RewriteRule ^/Football/Quarter-Reports\%C2\%A0 /Football/Quarter-Reports
[NE,R=301,L]

This is becoming my standard response but I have to ask, why?
There may be a really great explanation but those rewrite/redirect rules
you're suggesting seem bizarre (converting raw-url-encoded to non-encoded?)
and very very specific, how many of them do you plan to write? one for every
URL on your page? Would it not be simpler to modify the application to more
robustly handle the querystring/url parameters?
