URL encoding and other hackery

[Eden Li]

What escaping issues?  $request_uri will already be uri-encoded, so  
you can use it directly on the file system. You just need to make sure  
whatever's behind nginx making those files have ordered the parameters  
correctly.

for example, given a request $request_uri = /path/to/some.xml?a=%22&b= 
%23

$document_root$request_uri ==> /path/to/root/path/to/some.xml?a=%22&b= 
%23

this is a valid path in most file systems.

(note, there's no slash between document_root and request_uri)
