title: Semi-colons in URL changes to %3b via .htaccess
body: <p>This is my .htaccess file - </p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(/$|\.) 
  RewriteRule (.*) %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L] 
  
  &lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt;
  RewriteBase /
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  #RewriteRule ^template\.php$ - [L]
  #RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
  RewriteRule . /template.php [L]
  &lt;/IfModule&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It's designed to funnel everything through /template.php so it processes the rest of the URL &amp; domains. </p>
  
  <p>For whatever reason, when there's semi-colons provided in the URL (which is an important piece of the URL constructing the listing queries on my real estate websites) the semicolons change to %3b which is NOT what I want. </p>
  
  <p>Oddly enough this is happening on one website only... all of my sites are on the same server. </p>
  
  <p><a href="http://dev.brixwork.com/listings/city-Vancouver+West/area-Arbutus;Cambie;Coal+Harbour/order_by-create_date/order_direction-DESC/page-1" rel="nofollow">http://dev.brixwork.com/listings/city-Vancouver+West/area-Arbutus;Cambie;Coal+Harbour/order_by-create_date/order_direction-DESC/page-1</a></p>
  
  <p>THe above test URL is fine. </p>
  
  <p>However take that same file here..</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://suzannec.brixwork.com/listings/city-Vancouver+West/area-Arbutus;Cambie;Coal+Harbour/order_by-create_date/order_direction-DESC/page-1" rel="nofollow">http://suzannec.brixwork.com/listings/city-Vancouver+West/area-Arbutus;Cambie;Coal+Harbour/order_by-create_date/order_direction-DESC/page-1</a></p>
  
  <p>And you'll notice that the ; between the subarea names (Arbutus, Cambie &amp; Coal Harbour) mysteriously changes to %3b, and the page title generated is wrong as well, because it's not getting the proper array passed for processing. </p>
  
  <p>I'm fully aware that this may NOT be an .htaccess issue... but that's the best I could think up.</p>
