AllowEncodedSlashes is required to turn on in httpd.conf while running OpenResty with Apache2

[agentzh]

Hi, all~

One of our editor girls have noticed recently a functionality regression while using the OpenResty admin site to do record search:

    GET /=/model/Foo/url/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yahoo.cn%2Fhello%3Fabc%3D32

This request results in a 404 if the AllowEncodedSlashes directive is not explicitly turned on in your Apache2's config file, because encoded slash characters (i.e., %2F) in request URLs would give rise to bloody 404 responses in a default Apache setup. (This is not the case in lighttpd 1.4.x though.)

So please don't forget to add the following line to your httpd.conf:

   AllowEncodedSlashes On

For more information, please see

   http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#allowencodedslashes

as well as

   http://github.com/agentzh/openresty/blob/master/lib/OpenResty/Spec/Install/Apache.pod

Also, it's not recommended to run OpenResty with perl 5.10.0 due to its various memory leaks in its internals. We've observed very slow leaks while running OpenResty.pm with lighttpd 1.4.19 + perl 5.10.0. Lighttpd is also not recommended here because it does not automatically refresh its FastCGI worker processes periodically like Apache ;)
