[users@httpd] %2F to /
Okey, I wasn't aware of that. Starting a new thread.
Experts plesae advise and here is the problem...
We are getting a dummy 404-not found error on a page wherein which the URL has %2F and it needs to be decoded as / but thats not happening. We don't use Vhost and proxy pass. We added the AllowEncodedSlashes On to the server config but still no luck. We haven't compiled the Apache with php.
thx

I think you're mistaken on browser decoding of both %2f and %20.

They do so on every machine I have used, and that includes Windows, Linux, Unix,
and Mac.

Thanks. This probleem got fixed by adding AllowEncodslashes on to my ssl config file in the vhost section. Page loads properly.

Neither chrome nor firefox decode %2f or %20 in the path of a URL on
my system, the encoded form is sent verbatim.

What browsers are you using? The browser should beable to convert %2f to / such
as %20 is converted to a space regardless of the location after the domain.tld/.

%2F is not '/' - please read your RFC 2616 very carefully, the character
'/' is a path delimiter; and %2F != '/' for purposes of the protocol, but
another character entirely. If httpd did what you have requested, it would
be riddled with security holes.

Why not use an unencoded slash in your URL if you want it treated as a slash?
