How can I force RedirectMatch not to escape the redirect URL

  • 772

Today I've noticed that mod_alias's Redirect and RedirectMatch directives show a different behavior in how they handle the redirect URL.

A statement like this:

Redirect 301 "/foo" "/bar%20baz"

will redirect to the literal URL bar%20baz, whereas

RedirectMatch "/foo" "bar%20baz"

will redirect to bar%2520baz, as the redirect URL's percent sign is escaped.

My redirect URLs are already escaped. Is there any way I can tell RedirectMatch to not escape them any further?

    As far as I understand the manual you would not need to percent encode the new URL anyway and could use: 

     Redirect "/foo"  "/bar baz"
 RedirectMatch "regex" "/bar baz"
