Description

Vodafone had problems with a 3rd-party product, which was not compliant to the HTTP/1.1 specification, especially with parameters on the URL. They wanted a shortterm solution, which could 'fix' URL's before they were send to the 3rd-party product. A URL rewriting script was written, which could proxy requests and at the same time fix the URL.

Products used
