Title: Apache $QUERY_STRING variable garbled reading with Bash
Post by: Mika Löf on November 08, 2003, 12:18:20 AM

Hi!
I wrote a bash (2.05a.0) script to process httpd environment variables but somehow $QUERY_STRING gets garbled from plain to url encoding, e.g.:
http://www.linux.org/  ->  http%3A%2F%2Fwww.linux.org%2F
I've not had ever this problem with RedHat Linux' that's why I ask this here. Sorry if this is out of forum.
Running 5.6U5 with a few contribs.
PS. Am I silly writing bash, is it secure in httpd environment?

Mika
