Escape problem in mod_rewrite [P] action...

Ignore that code.  Escaping of URL parts and query terms is happening OK.

For me, the problem was occurring when I moved a piece of text from the path to
the query string.  For example:

RewriteRule ^foo/(.*)   http://another.host.name/foo?page=$1 [qsappend,P]

In this case, $1 will not be escaped correctly for the query string: it could
still contain unescaped ampersands, question marks or equals.  To fix this, one
can easily encode $1 using an external program (or hack the source to use a
form-encoder natively, as I did.)
