Unluckly I should manage UTF8 characters in hte URI, more exactly in
the query string.
All requests pass through an apache 2.2.x mod_proxy.

Request correctly made by Firefox

The incorrect request made by Internet Explorer

The problem is the word attività:

Firefox correctly passes it as attivit%C3%A0
IE incorrectly passes it as attivit\xc3\xa0

Fro explorer You receive the HTTP 502 error:
"
Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /path1/path2/detail.act

Reason: Error reading from remote server
"

As a workaround using the "Turn off sending URLs as UTF-8" option in
IE the request is made correctly.

How I solve it without using the IE workaround?

This is rhe rev.proxy cfg:
...
ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyPass /path1/        http://10.20.30.40/path1/
 ProxyPassReverse /path1/        http://10.20.30.40/path1/
RewriteRule ^/path1$ /path1/ [R]
...
