hi, we are using rewrite3 on server 2008 and in general it works fine.

but now we encountered a serious problem.
on our page we are using links with french accons.

the special chars are encoded correctly so the link looks like this:

if i call this page(%E9 stands for an e^):

http://www.lejournaletudiant.ca/categories/Test-%252d-Cat%E9gorie-avec-accent/

and print in the php file:
print $_SERVER["HTTP_X_REWRITE_URL"];

it will print
/categories/Test-%252d-Cat%c3%a9gorie-avec-accent/

so %E9 was changed to %c3%a9.

same for other symbols too like a capital E.

does anybody have a clue what changed it?

we have this:
RewriteRule /categories(.*) /categories.php?$1 [I,L]
in the httpd.ini

and our htaccess:

Setenv TIMEOUT 300
Setenv CPULIMIT 100
Options -MultiViews -Indexes +FollowSymlinks

RewriteEngine On
# RewriteBase /websitepublisher/
<IfModule mod_security.c>
    # Turn off mod_security filtering.
    SecFilterEngine Off

    # The below probably isn't needed, but better safe than sorry.
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} categories.*
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
        RewriteRule ^categories(.*)$ categories.php?$1 [T=application/x-httpd-php,L]

php is version 5, but i am very sure that it has to do with the rewrite filter (isapi is the only filter applied) so if anyone can help us it would be great

ok right now i am not sure anymore if the problem is related to isapi.

%c3%a9 stands for the e^ in utf8
so somehow IIS changes my request before its passed to isapi.

i tried to find the setting IN IIS7 so i went to IIS Manager, changed the .NET GLobalization Requests entry from utf8 to iso-8859-1 but it didnt help.

does anybody have an idea what i have to change to let IIS not convert requests to the utf encoding? or how could i get a workaround in php.
i tried utf8_de/encode($_SERVER["HTTP_X_REWRITE_URL"]); but it didnt work.

regards
alex
