Camping list - Apr 2007 - URL question

Well, this is more of an apache question, but...

I''m running a nice little ''cluster'' of camping apps
and I''ve recently
started proxying them through apache with mod_proxy, since I found I
was forwarding a lot of ports via ssh otherwise. But anyway, enough of
that.

One of the apps I use to view logs from IRC (with formatting and
highlighting!). But occasionally, there are +s in the channel name
(and I can''t just remove them, as sometimes the name exists without
the + as well). And this works fine, with camping on it''s own.  But
apache rewrites the + to %2B and it all falls apart.

So if there are any apache gurus on the list, could they let me know
how to stop this?

Regards
Jonathan

Jonathan - I may be blowing smoke, but what about taking advantage of
CGI''s escape and unescape methods?

irb(main):009:0> CGI.escape "ruby+talk"
=> "ruby%2Btalk"
irb(main):010:0> CGI.unescape "ruby%2Btalk"
=> "ruby+talk"

Would that do the trick?  Just run CGI.unescape on your paramaters?
