Presence of QSA or not doesn't seem to make a difference for me trying that
rule on Apache/2.2.19 (Mac OS X 10.7 default install), no chance to check my
Linux box until back in SF. :)
Is it possible that Apache finally changed mod_rewrite to assume that it's
passing in individual strings and correctly escapes them?
Nope... it's actually that MediaWiki's manual processing of REQUEST_URI
overwrites the raw query string processing.
$_GET for '/trunk/wiki/AT&T' translated to '/trunk/index.php?title=AT&T'
still comes out as:
array(2) {
["title"]=>
string(2) "AT"
["T"]=>
string(0) ""
}
:(
