Description Chris Petersen 2004-11-20 03:09:15 UTC
I have a smart bookmark configured in my browser to search wikipedia.  However,
when it forwards from "www." to "en." any url string (spaces, mainly) get
re-encoded.  eg:

http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=foo%20bar

gets turned into:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=foo%2520bar
Comment 1 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2005-07-13 20:55:29 UTC
Things in parameters are escaped by the rewrite rule.
Works fine for urls like http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo%20Bar

Please use the en.wikipedia.org host.
