Using this rule in a virtual host configuration file leads to double escaping of the query parameters:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

For example:

http://example.com?f=hello%20world

Leads to

https://example.com?f=hello%2520world

Note the "%25" escaping the "%" sign. Why is this happening ?

apache mod-rewrite query-string
