           Summary: Using %25 in URLs is not handled correctly
           Product: Tomcat 3
           Version: 3.2.3 Final
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Servlet

        ReportedBy: gb@opengroup.org


Hi,When I use a URL with %25 in it on tomcat3.2.3 I get a Tomcat 404 back, however if I use the same URL on tomcat3.2.2 it works o.k.This seems to be worse when the %25 is in the requested filename.I've found other URL escapes o.k. for example %24 and %26.  It appears that either the server (in this Apache) is unescaping the URL to just put it as % and then when it hits Tomcat it then barfs because it doesn't understand the plain %. I have compared the configuration on both tomcat3.2.3 and 3.2.2 and they are the same so I can only believe it is a problem with Tomcat.I know the message is coming from Tomcat because I get a message in the tomcat.log.Please help,Gary
