I have got Zope with CacheFu installed running behind Squid running behind Apache. Unfortunately, CacheFu encodes the URLs to purge whereas Squid does not consider encoded URLs equal to unencoded URLs. So I thought I will just let Apache pass Squid encoded URLs so that they are cached under encoded URLs. But, alas, the VHM does not seem to be triggered by encoded URLs (e.g. /VirtualHostBase/http/www.example.com%3A80/[...]).

It would be wrong to recognize "%3A" as ":" in the above situation. The primary purpose of the "%XX" escaping scheme is to escape from special meaning and thus allow for unusual situations, e.g. ":" in a server name. Thus, "server:port" means port "port" on server "server" while "server%3Aport" means the standard port on server "server:port".

Is there any way of making the VHM aware of encoded URLs? Or is there another way to solving my problem?

You should not encode complete urls. Encoding can be applied only to the individual components. -- Dieter
