title: Need to allow encoded slashes on Apache
body: <p>I'm currently trying to place a URL within a URL. For example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://example.com/url/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.url2.com
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm aware that I have to encode the URL, which I have done, but now I am getting a <code>404</code> error back from the server rather than my app. I think my problem lies with apache and can be fixed with the <code>AllowEncodedSlashes On</code> directive.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried putting the directive at the bottom of the httpd.conf to no effect, and am unsure what to do next. Am I putting it in the right place? If so, does anyone have any other solutions?</p>
