So, do you mean the rule doesn't work with this link? Do the links without semicolon work fine?

Please enable logging in httpd.conf like this:

RewriteLogLevel 9

and provide rewrite.log records for this request.

Hello,

There are no records related to the problematic request in the rewrite.log and the reason might be the following: colon is very undesirable symbol in the URL.
Is there a reason you decided to use it?

I see, but the error occurs before the request comes to ISAPI_Rewrite (that's why there is nothing in the rewrite.log), so I can't think of a way we can help you...
