Subject: mod_rack hex-unescapes PATH_INFO
Date: Mon, 21 Dec 2009 23:55:31 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200912212355.31817.ibc@aliax.net> (raw)

Hi, I'm tryining Rack under Apache2 mod_rack module (Phusion Passenger).

I've realized that Apache2 automatically unescapes hexadecimal symbols in the 
request URI so they arrive escaped to the Rack application.

Most probably this is an appropriate behavior but it breaks my Rack 
application as I validate the path info specting just ASCII symbols and not 
UTF-8 multibyte symbols. And after my validation process I unescape the path 
info by my self.

So, is there any way to force Apache2 not to unescape the request uri / path 
info?

Thanks a lot.
