Description

'%25' in URL gets decoded by nginx-1.6.1 as empty string, '%25%25' gets decoded as single '%' character. Currently we solved this issue by downgrading to nginx-1.4.7.

Note that URL is passed to nginx by apache via X-Accel-Redirect header.

Resolution: wontfix
Status: newclosed

Starting with nginx 1.5.9, nginx expects escaped URIs in X-Accel-Redirect, see CHANGES:

Changes with nginx 1.5.9                                         22 Jan 2014

    *) Change: now nginx expects escaped URIs in "X-Accel-Redirect" headers.

...

See ticket #316 for some background info on why the change was made (notably, it wasn't possible to return files with the "?" in the name using X-Accel-Redirect). You have to change your backend code accordingly, to return escaped URIs in X-Accel-Redirect headers.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
