Is it reasonable to expect mod_proxy_html to rewrite URL encoded URLs as
well?

The reason I am asking this is, because for Location matching, Apache
httpd apparently does map a request with a URL encoded path to the
non-encoded configured path. For example, if I have configured in a
virtual host:
<Location "/!\"#$/">
ProxyPass "http://internal/!\"#$/";
ProxyHTMLURLMap "http://internal/!\"#$/"; "http://external/!\"#$/";
...
</Location>
... then for matching the location container it does not matter whether
the path of the request is URL encoded or not.
I consider this behavior a bit inconsistent. URL-encoded requests get
proxied to the internal resource as if they were not URL-encoded. But
URL-encoding a few characters in the path is sufficient to bypass HTML
rewriting.
