apache rewrite "web.de/page/order:date" works, "web.de/order:date

[martinno]

i have a quite interesting problem with apache and it mod_rewrite.

i use mod_rewrite to have "nice and cool urls" on my server. everything works fine. i decided to add new functionality:
<parameter-name>:<parameter-value> (e.g. order:date for order by date)

when i call www.server.com/articles/order:date apache displays articles page with ordered articles by date, so rewriting works properly. but when i try to call www.server.com/order:date to order articles on title page, apache does "nothing" - apache does not rewrite the url and it try to display page /order:date :

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /order:date on this server.

(but if i replace : delimiter by ~ or ! or @ (and some other signs), rewriting works ok also for www.server.com/order~date. rewriting also does not worl for | delimiter.)

i have really no idea what's going wrong. any suggestions?

i think, there is not problem in rewriting rules, because when i call link

http://www.server.com/order:date

access.log file is modified only. rewrite.log and error.log files are not touched by apache.

when i call

http://www.server.com/articles/order:date,

there is possible to see new records in access.log and rewrite.log logs.

as i have already mentioned, when i use : and | as delimiter signs, link

http://www.server.com/order:date

is not rewritten. but when i use e.g. ~ or @ or ! it works ok. that's the second reason why i think it's not due my rewrite rules.

but here are my rewrite rules:

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !/index\.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/.+\..+$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
RewriteRule (.*)

http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/

[L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !/index\.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/.+\..+$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$
RewriteRule (.*)

https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1/

[L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !/index\.php
RewriteRule ^(([a-z]{2})(/))?(.*)$ index.php?p1=$2&p2=$4 [NC,L,QSA]
