URL as parameter not working?

[eluser]Reynolds[/eluser]
hi,

I'm trying to pass an encoded URL to a Guest controller:

NOTE: I've added spaces in between here, because its getting decoded when anyone views this post.

Code:

http://mydomain.com/guest/original_url:http % 3A % 2F % 2F google.com % 2F

this is what i get.

Not Found

The requested URL /guest/original_url:http://google.com/ was not found on this server.

but if i removed the encoded slashes:

http://mydomain.com/guest/original_url:google.com

then it works right.

why? and how do I fix this?

Thanks

Try $config['uri_protocol'] = 'REQUEST_URI';
