Apache Reverse Proxy Server Shows a 500 Error When the URL Contains the % Character

Symptom:

I am using an Apache web server as a reverse proxy server (the ProxyPass directive is enabled in the httpd.conf file ), but requests for URLs that contain the percent (%) character return an HTTP 500 error.

Solution:

Remove the %25 from the list of characters used as the value of the BadURLChars parameter in your Agent Configuration Object or local configuration file.
