[encode_urlpath]

Description

This tag is part of a workaround for a security measure in Apache that complains about URL path components that contain URL-encoded slashes. Can be decoded using [decode_urlpath].

This tag is designed to be used with the [define_atbegin] method of URL rewriting. Since the regular expression commonly used in the <LocationMatch> directive with that method only passes virtual paths that do not contain periods, periods are also encoded. The tag also converts spaces to underscores for improved readability.

Sample Usage

encode_urlpath($string);
