This tag is part of a workaround for a security measure in Apache that complains about URL path components that contain URL-encoded slashes. Can be decoded using [decode_urlpath].

This tag is designed to be used with the [define_atbegin] method of URL rewriting. Since the regular expression commonly used in the <LocationMatch> directive with that method only passes virtual paths that do not contain periods, periods are also encoded. The tag also converts spaces to underscores for improved readability.

Parameters

none

Sample Usage

encode_urlpath($string);
