1 When I try to edit a page that has a forward slash in the URL, I get "Error:
2 bad page name". I think the problem is because the forward slash is escaped as
3 `%252F` instead of `%2F`.
5 For example, if I go to `http://ciffer.net/~svend/tech/hosts/` and click Edit,
6 I am sent to a page with the URL
7 `http://ciffer.net/~svend/ikiwiki.cgi?page=tech%252Fhosts&do=edit`.
9 I am running ikiwiki 3.20100504~bpo50+1 on Debian Lenny.

13 > Look at the page source!
15 > The problem is that your web server is forcing a hard (302) redirect
