The files I want to deliver using Apache 1.3.33 contain question marks,
e.g.
.../htdocs/fund?a12.html
To request this file I can use the URL
http://www.funds.com/fund%3fa12.html
That is no problem. However if I want to use a rewrite rule to get to
the same file I have a problem.
For example with the following to rewrite underscores to '?' ...
RewriteRule (.*)_(.*) $1?$2
and requesting...
http://www.funds.com/fund_a12.html
... of course doesn't work, because of the expected handling of the '?'
by mod_rewrite
So the next thing to try would be
RewriteRule (.*)_(.*) $1%3f$2
and again requesting...
http://www.funds.com/fund_a12.html
This also doesn't work because apache is now looking for the following
file
.../htdocs/fund%3fa12.html
In other words the URL is not "URL decoded" after passing through
mod_rewrite
I see two solution to the problem of using mod_rewrite to get to a file
containing a '?'
a) turn off the mod_rewrite's query string handling (function name is
splitout_queryargs)
b) cause URL decoding to be performed again after mod_rewrite
Any idea how this can be done? Or any other solution to the problem?
