It appears that $REQUEST_URI doesn't actually work quite right yet:
* Connected to www.openbsd.org (129.128.5.194) port 80 (#1) > GET /cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=test&sektion= HTTP/1.1 > User-Agent: curl/7.26.0 > Host: www.openbsd.org > Accept: */* > * HTTP 1.0, assume close after body < HTTP/1.0 301 Moved Permanently < Date: Thu, 12 May 2016 16:59:28 GMT < Server: OpenBSD httpd < Connection: close < Content-Type: text/html < Content-Length: 443 < Location: http://man.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=test%26sektion= < * Closing connection #1 It looks like it's because the query gets URL encoded: http://bxr.su/o/usr.sbin/httpd/server_http.c#server_expand_http 986 if (strstr(val, "$REQUEST_URI") != NULL) { 987 if ((path = url_encode(desc->http_path)) == NULL) 988 return (NULL); 989 if (desc->http_query == NULL) { 990 str = path; 991 } else { 992 if ((query = url_encode(desc->http_query)) == NULL) { 993 free(path); 994 return (NULL); 995 } 996 ret = asprintf(&str, "%s?%s", path, query); I think it is incorrect to ever encode it (happens in a few other places, too), because it doesn't appear that it ever gets decoded from the URL format in the first place.
