Need List of Special Characters to Escape

[calvinmicklefinger]

I am performing a RedirectMatch 302 and the target is a cgi script with a gazillion special characters in it. Where can I find a comprehensive list showing which characters need to be escaped when writing a rule in the .htaccess file?

Many thanks.

Any character that has meaning in regular expressions or mod_rewrite:

^$%.*+?(){}[]¦\

Note that some of these characters are illegal in URLs, query strings, or both, so you may not have to test for them, since they will never appear as "input" to the RewriteRule. Ref: RFC2396 [faqs.org]

Thanks, that clarifies everything.
