> KNOX-791 - which tries to address the escaping issues have caused some issues in some cases where we need to decode  "&" to "&" like in output rewrites of query parameters
> An improvement  proposal to introduce a rule decode attribute to set decoding behavior. 
> Default is no decoding. 
> This allows to turn this “on” for a specific rule.
> Before KNOX-791 "&" used to be decoded to "&" during html parsing.
> The issue is that in OUT rewrite rule we will not able to match the query string.
> Example:
> given html
> <a href=http://foo:99/test/&amp;q=bar”>test</a>
> rule:
> {code:xml}
> <rule dir="OUT" name="test"   pattern="("{scheme}://{host}:{port}/test/?{*}">
>      <rewrite template="("http://newtest/test/?{*}?{scheme}?{host}?{port}"/>
>  </rule>
> {code}
> This rule above will not work since the “&amp; amp;“ will not be matched.
> The proposed change is:
> {code:xml}
> <rule dir="OUT" name="test" decode="true"  pattern="("{scheme}://{host}:{port}/test/?{*}">
>      <rewrite template="("http://newtest/test/?{*}?{scheme}?{host}?{port}"/>
>  </rule>
> {code}
> This will overwrite the default behavior and decode the the &amp;
> The following test illustrates the issue of what we would like
> to solve.
> {code:title=testAmpRewrite.java|borderStyle=solid}
> @Test
>   public void testAmpRewrite() throws Exception {
>     URI goodUri, badUri, outputUri;
>     Matcher<Void> matcher;
>     Matcher<Void>.Match match;
>     Template input, pattern, template;
>     badUri = new URI(
>         "http://foo:99/test/&amp;q=bar"); // we should be able to match
>     goodUri = new URI(
>         "http://foo:99/test/?q=bar");
>     input = Parser.parseLiteral(goodUri.toString());
>     pattern = Parser.parseTemplate("{scheme}://{host}:{port}/test/?{*}");
>     template = Parser.parseTemplate("http://newtest/test/?{*}?{scheme}?{host}?{port}");
>     // Match query string
>     String expectedUri = "http://newtest/test/?scheme=http&host=foo&port=99&q=bar";
>     matcher = new Matcher<Void>();
>     matcher.add(pattern, null);
>     match = matcher.match(input);
>     assertNotNull( match );
>     outputUri = Expander.expand(template, match.getParams(), null);
>     assertEquals("Not matched", expectedUri, outputUri.toString());
>     // no match of query string ?
>     input = Parser.parseLiteral(badUri.toString()); 
>     match = matcher.match(input);
>     assertNull( match);
>   }
> {code}
