Hi, Thanks for the input. Its all because of my misunderstanding of how the URL is handled by apache. Apache does not allow multiple slashes in the path portion of the URL. (It seems there are some security underpinnings, which I did not understand). And there seems to be no way to turn it off.
My idea was to let someone do, www.xyz.com/post/URL, to take the user to a form preloaded with the URL (so the user can just copy past the url he wants and put it in place of URL in the above link). Since, this is not possible, I have resorted to, www.xyz.com/post/?URL, since in this case URL becomes part of the parameter portion.
