I don't know if this is related to the issues mentioned here, but when we have rewrite rule like<div><br></div><div>rewrite ^/arch/(.*) /cgi-bin/open_cache.pl?file=$1 last;<br><div><br></div><div>and url</div><div><br>
</div><div>/arch/person2.php%2525253F%25252526st%2525253D1013880915.1.html.html</div><div><br></div><div>then in nginx 0.5 this will be passed to the cgi as</div><div><br></div><div>GET /cgi-bin/open_cache.pl?file=person2.php%2525253F%25252526st%2525253D1013880915.1.html.html HTTP/1.0</div>
<div><br></div><div>But in nginx 0.6 (maybe even in higher versions) is this url passed as</div><div><br></div><div>GET /cgi-bin/open_cache.pl?basefile=person2.php%25253F%252526st%25253D1013880915.1.html.html HTTP/1.0</div>

</div></div>It had been implemented long ago in 0.3.10:<br>
<br>
*) Bugfix: the "rewrite" directive did not unescape URI part in<br>
redirect, now it is unescaped except the %00-%25 and %7F-%FF<br>
characters.<br>
<br>
Why do you need "c%2B%2B" in URL ? "c++" is valid unambiguous URL part.<br>
