Hi -- Is it possible to have mod_rewrite unescape backreferences? I would like to allow users to access resources through a user-specific URLs, created by embedding a user-provided email address in the URL:
/docs/[EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a form that allows users to enter their email and submits a GET to a CGI: http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/test.cgi?email=testuser%40yahoo.com I've created a mod_rewrite rule to trap the above pattern and rewrite it: RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} email=([EMAIL PROTECTED])$ RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin/test.cgi /docs/%1 [PT] The above is not a very sophisticated email match, but works for this example. This gives me: /docs/testuser%40yahoo.com Is there a way to tell mod_rewrite to un-escape the matched backreference so I get the @ sign in the URL instead of %40? Thank you in advance! Ramon
