Comment (by hakre):

 In a deeper analysis I realized that Kirin_Lin simply "changed something
 that affected something the way she/he wanted" and was fine was that but
 without even thinking about where the defect is originated in. This leads
 to an enourmous space for side-effects and esoteric behaviour of the
 rewrite part. Rawurldecode should only be applied on the query-info part
 of a querystring. so this has to be done on another place in the code-
 logic not in the part where decoded url-information has to stay inside the
 URL as within that line of code.

 You can compare the applied fix as if the apache developers would pass a
 general rawurldecode() over the complete request URI.
