contao/import — Issue #541: URL cannot contain encoded "/" (%2F), as TL (or htaccess?) interprets it as GET parameters

In TL when you set-up htaccess for rewrite, the following URL generates an error (file not found).

```
http://www.website.co.za/parts-catalog/ProductType/CAB+SLIDERS/VehicleMake/FORD/VehicleModel/BANTAM+%2F+RUSTLER+CEN.html
```

VehicleModel=BANTAM / RUSTLER CEN
the URL has been encoded to prevent the "slash" from being considered as part of the URL, but TL still "decrypts" it as being seperate GET parameters, e.g.

This is the error:

```

**Not Found**

The requested URL /parts-catalog/ProductType/CAB+SLIDERS/VehicleMake/FORD/VehicleModel/BANTAM+/+RUSTLER+CEN.html was not found on this server.

```

You can see that either Apache or TL has expanded the %2F to "/" which should not happen. Is there a way around this?
