Bug Description

If you visit a URL with %2f substituted for a slash, you get an apache 404, not a Launchpad "Lost something?" page. For example,

https://code.launchpad.net/~abentley/launchpad%2furl-validation

This is a feature not a bug. This feature caught me too :)

Apache 404s urls with %2f and %5c "/" and "\" as a security feature. This can be disabled as described in the docs :

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/core.html#allowencodedslashes
