+<usage>
+ <p>The <directive>AllowEncodedSlashes</directive> directive allows URLs
+ which contain encoded path separators (<code>%2F</code> for <code>/</code>
+ and additionally <code>%5C</code> for <code>\</code> on according systems)
+ to be used. Normally such URLs are refused with a 404 (Not found) error.</p>
+
+ <p>Turning <directive>AllowEncodedSlashes</directive> <code>On</code> is
+ mostly useful when used in conjunction with <code>PATH_INFO</code>.</p>
+
+ <note><title>Note</title>
+ <p>Allowing encoded slashes does <em>not</em> imply <em>decoding</em>.
+ Occurences of <code>%2F</code> or <code>%5C</code> (<em>only</em> on
+ according systems) will be left as such in the otherwise decoded URL
+ string.</p>
