Description (last modified by Maxim Dounin)

I am capturing some data in if, and then redirecting on what was captured. The problem is, that captured data is escaped if url contains "%" char, and may be others, and do not escaped if it does not. I have simple config:

Having simple config

location / {
    set $out "http://example.com/?a=b&c=d%";
    if ($out ~ "(.*)") {
        set $z $1;
        rewrite ^ $z redirect;
    }
}

Making 2 requests:

telnet 127.0.0.1 80
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET / HTTP/1.0

Expected the same location as in first request, but got another.
Tested on nginx-1.0.14 , nginx-1.0.6 .
