[Klaus Johannes Rusch ] PR#4734 As far as I can tell from the documentation and reading the source there is no way around this. I use mod_rewrite to redirect to Muhammad A Muquit's Count.cgi. Our users are using the delimiter character '|' which is escaped to %7c by mod_rewrite starting with apache version 1.3.11. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: I suggest a flag in mod_rewrite that prevents the escaping of characters, but the default should escape. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, you need] [to include in the Cc line and make sure the] [subject line starts with the report component and number, with ] [or without any 'Re:' prefixes (such as "general/1098:" or ] ["Re: general/1098:").
