Bug: %20 in QUERY_STRING

[David Robinson <dr...@esi.co.uk>]

Apache 1.2.4, 1.2.5 & 1.3b3 all truncate the query_string after the
first encoded space character:

#!/usr/bin/sh
echo "Content-Type: text/plain"
echo
echo "Query String '$QUERY_STRING'"

GET http://localhost/test.cgi?foo%20bar   gives

Query String 'foo'

This a real pain, but I'm afraid I don't have time to knock up a patch 8-(

Arrggh... you're absolutely right. Very sorry for bothering the list.
When I click on <A HREF="test.cgi?foo%20bar">a link</A> in Netscape 3.0
Gold for BSDI, the server logs

I don't see it; it doesn't do that for me.  You sure your client isn't
doing it?
