Querystring problem with CodeIgniter in GatorHost

[eluser]taewoo[/eluser]
Hi everyone.

I've written a code that can correctly parse this URL:

Code:

http://myhostgatoraccount.com/controller/method?account_id=637235&campaign_id=153123&keyword=SOME_KEYWORD&content_search=content&placement=http://someplacement.site/sub/dir

Yet on HostGator, i get a 404 (codeigniter 404). When I remove "http://" from "http://someplacement.site/sub/dir", it works fine.

My current .htaccess (located in the domain folder, not in "public_html"

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    DirectoryIndex index.php
        RewriteEngine on
        RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|js|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php/$1 [L,QSA]

</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>
    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
</IfModule>

and my URI_protocol in config is set to "REQUEST_URI".


Anyone have any idea how to fix this? That "http://" in the query string is somehow confusing codeigniter (btw, this works fine on my local machine)
