Rewrite URL With Encoded Characters

I need to redirect urls from a Centos 6 server with the & encoded as & Here are some examples:

index.php?controller=cms&amp;id_cms=83
	
index.php?controller=cms&amp;id_cms=60
	
index.php?controller=cms&amp;id_cms=352

Open in new window

I only want them to go to the non encoded equivalent such as this.

RewriteRule ^index\.php\?controller=cms&id_cms=([0-9]+)$ /index.php?controller=cms&id_cms=$1 [R=301,L]

However, this doesn't work so please tell me what I need to do.

Thanks,

Try this

Internal Function
MapType: int, MapSource: Internal Apache function

Here, the source is an internal Apache function. Module authors can provide additional internal functions by registering them with the ap_register_rewrite_mapfunc API. The functions that are provided by default are:

toupper:
Converts the key to all upper case.
tolower:
Converts the key to all lower case.
escape:
Translates special characters in the key to hex-encodings.
unescape:
Translates hex-encodings in the key back to special characters.

I think you might be correct but I don't know how to do a rewritemap so can you take my url and provide the code I need to make it work?
