589	url rewrite encoding issue	Raja Sellappan		"Currently we are using apache mod_rewrite for url rewrite.  We want to remove apache and move the url rewrite to our Load Balancer(which is nginx server). 

The rewrite rule 
{{{
rewrite ^/form-embed/(.*) /formembed.do?$1 break;
}}}
rewrites the url /form-embed/a=1&b=2&c=3 as /formembed.do?a=1&b=2&c=3 (same behaviour as apache).  But when the url contains <SPACE> the query string appended is getting encoded, even '&' is getting encoded as '%26'

the rul /form-embed/a=1&b=2&c=Times New Roman gets rewritten as  /formembed.do?a=1%26b%3D2%26c%3DTimes+New+Roman but for the same case apache(version 1.3) correctly rewrites as  a=1&b=2&c=Times+New+Roman.  

Is it intended behaviour or its a bug?   Please suggest us solution to solve this problem, we need to solve this problem ASAP.
