Rails - Jul 2005 - Routes and escaped slashes (%2F)

In my app''s routes, the escaped slash (%2F) is being treated as an
unescaped slash. I saw this ticket
http://dev.rubyonrails.com/ticket/1310 which indicates the behavior is
not reproducible and that it may be system-dependent, however I''m not
sure why it would be happening to my app:

http://tagifieds.com/tags/audio%2Fvideo should show the tag
"audio/video" but instead produces a routing error.

Note that using %2F in a querystring parameter works as expected:

http://tagifieds.com/tags?q=audio%2Fvideo

I am running Rails 0.13.0 using lighttpd/fastCGI behind
Apache/mod_proxy. Any help solving this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much in advance!

SOLVED. Please disregard. I determined this is an Apache security
feature. The request never even hits the Rails app. Sorry folks!
