Issue 30 in urlrewritefilter: ":" char in url results in java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException

Comment #3 on issue 30 by fo...@...: ":" char in url results in  
java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException
http://code.google.com/p/urlrewritefilter/issues/detail?id=30

I can confirm this issue. The error occurs, when a parameter contains a  
colon. At our
site, for example, we have the following rule for rewriting search queries:

        <rule>
                <name>redirect /search/SEARCH</name>
                <condition type="parameter" name="search">(.+)</condition>
                <from>^/+search$</from>
                <to type="redirect" last="true">/search/${escape:%1}</to>
        </rule>

The following query results in a UnsupportedEncodingException as described  
above:

http://<ourhost>/search?search=test:

The reason for this exception is found in StringFunctions.java. If a  
parameter
contains a colon (':'), the prefix is treaded as an encoding name:

         String encoding = "UTF-8";
         if ( FIND_COLON_PATTERN.matcher(subject).find()) {
             encoding = subject.substring(0, subject.indexOf(':'));
             subject = subject.substring(subject.indexOf(':')+1);
         }

I didn't find this feature's documentation and I strongly suggest to  
disable it - or
at least make it optional.
