Apache Rewrite
No Encoding
[1]While working with nextcloud, I ran into a rewrite rule that would not keep slashes as I needed them. This was caused by the slashed being converted in a browser, then someone copying the converted URL as a link in another site.
[2] I was scratching my head as to why %2 was being turned into %252 after a migration from one vhost to
another. Found out I needed to add [NE] to the rewrite rule in order for the slashed to be registered correctly.
