URLs containing +

[ChickPea Profile]

We've had a spate of bad links where someone has appended a + to a variety of URLs

(e.g. index.html+) which were throwing up 401s.

I added in this rule:


#Get rid of erroneous html+ extensions
RewriteRule (.*)\.html\+ $1.html [NC,R=301,L]

But this did nothing. Until I found an old posting, that mentioned double-escaping.

In IIS7, you need to allow double escaping, and now it works.
