Does anyone else have the problem that when you enter \ (Backslash) in a URL in PIE it gets replaced by a / (forwardslash)!?!

I am running MimeTex on my server which renders Latex (Maths typesetting language), but it relies on using Backslashes...

E.g.

www.1kemp.co.uk/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?\Large \Bigint x^2 dx (http://www.1kemp.co.uk/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?\Large \Bigint x^2 dx)

Renders correctly on the PC but becuase PIE replaces all the backslashes with forwardslahses looks awful on the PPC...

Anyone have any ideas if there is anything I can do?

Cheers

Represent the backslashes as %5c

http://www.1kemp.co.uk/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?%5cLarge%20%5cBigint%20x^2%20dx

Edit: just so you can see the relevant bit of the URL: mimetex.cgi?%5cLarge%20%5cBigint%20x^2%20dx
