Hello,

Not sure if this is the right group but I'll try it anyways:

I'm trying to rewrite my urls using colon symbol with no success. I'm
getting 403 errors. So, whats wrong with this url?

localhost/one:two

403 Forbidden on Apache 2.2

However this one seems ok:

localhost/bla/one:two

the colon is allowed in a query string but not the path itself, so you
could have localhost/bla/?one=one:two
