I know this is more Apache oriented than PHP (though I am rewriting a URL for a PHP program 😉, so if someone could direct me to a more focused board that would be great, but here we go anyhow...
Ive been trying to overcome a major problem in a program that is designed to make AOL Instant Messanger Subprofile pages. As of the latest beta of AIM (today), they have fixed the URL problems (if a screenname had a space in it, the full URL did not get sent), but now I have hit an Apache problem. Since the space is not converted into %20, it completely screws up some sutff in URL parsing. I am wondering if there is a way to filter the QUERY_STRING (say, ?SN=I Have Spaces&PAGE=HOME), so that the spaces are properly converted into %20? I have run into a dead end using RewriteRule, unless that can be applied to the QUERY_STRING directly
