title: mod_rewrite RewriteRule to handle HTML Entities
body: <p>For some reason, we recieving a bunch of inbound traffic on URLs that contain HTML entities.</p>
  
  <p>E.g.</p>
  
  <p><code>http://www.ourdomain.com/index.php?key1=value1&amp;amp;key2=value2</code></p>
  
  <p>I want to create a RewriteRule to replace these HTML entities (specifically &amp;amp; with &amp;), and forward people on to the corrected address.</p>
  
  <p>I'm tried these:</p>
  
  <p><code>RewriteRule &amp;amp; &amp; [R=permanent]</code></p>
  
  <p>and</p>
  
  <p><code>RewriteRule &amp;amp; &amp;</code></p>
  
  <p>But nothing is happening.</p>
  
  <p>(BTW. I know this is a horrible and dangerous way to solve someone else's problem, but I just need to get it done. temporarily)</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any help...</p>
