[users@httpd] mod_rewrite with percent encoded slashes...
Hi,
I'm encountering an oddity that I can't currently explain. Hopefully
someone here will know the answer.
I'm trying to improve some URLs and am using the following mod_rewrite
configuration:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/test!(.*)$ /test.php?a=$1 [PT,L,QSA]
So the following URLs get successfully passed through to test.php:
http://server.domain.co.uk/test!abcd
http://server.domain.co.uk/test!abcd/efgh
http://server.domain.co.uk/test!abcd%20efgh
but the following one does not make it:
http://server.domain.co.uk/test!abcd%2Fefgh
In fact it doesn't even hit mod_rewrite! I've added RewriteLog and
ewriteLogLevel but nothing's written to the log whereas the other three
URLs result in something like the following in the log file (so I know
the log directives are working):
172.16.0.1 - - [27/Nov/2007:16:06:34 +0000]
[server.domain.co.uk/sid#b820e3f0][rid#b8673b78/initial] (2) init
rewrite engine with requested uri /test!abcd
172.16.0.1 - - [27/Nov/2007:16:06:34 +0000]
[server.domain.co.uk/sid#b820e3f0][rid#b8673b78/initial] (3) applying
pattern '^/test!(.*)' to uri '/test!abcd'
172.16.0.1 - - [27/Nov/2007:16:06:34 +0000]
[server.domain.co.uk/sid#b820e3f0][rid#b8673b78/initial] (2) rewrite
'/test!abcd' -> '/test.php?a=abcd'
172.16.0.1 - - [27/Nov/2007:16:06:34 +0000]
[server.domain.co.uk/sid#b820e3f0][rid#b8673b78/initial] (3) split
uri=/test.php?a=abcd -> uri=/test.php, args=a=abcd
172.16.0.1 - - [27/Nov/2007:16:06:34 +0000]
[server.domain.co.uk/sid#b820e3f0][rid#b8673b78/initial] (2) forcing
'/test.php' to get passed through to next API URI-to-filename handler
Does anyone have any suggestion why a slash that's been converted to %2F
causes the request to miss mod_rewrite (and come back with a 404)?
Many thanks in advance,
Neil.

Hmm, I noticed that the problem exists for FireFox. It is okay at least for
IE 6. Perhaps IE 6 does some preprocessing before sending the request.

You're certainly right - that magic did the trick!
Many, many thanks,
