This has me stunned: adding this rule before anything else still does not change the behavior: given /word1+word2-search.htm it still 301 redirects to /word1 , then sends 404.

RewriteRule \+ - [G,L]

What gives? I thought having no conditions would sure make this match ANY URI with a plus sign in it? Is it a hard-coded Apache 2 behavior? I've found one legitimate page with a plus sign in the URL - it also no longer works although it worked fine in Apache 1.3

Can anyone comment? Thanks!
