DO NOT REPLY [Bug 44801] New: getPathInfo() and getRequestURI() handle %3B incorrectly

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44801

           Summary: getPathInfo() and getRequestURI() handle %3B incorrectly
           Product: Tomcat 6
           Version: 6.0.16
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Servlet & JSP API
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jessh@ptc.com


We have some servlets that take rather general path-info's.  When these include
a properly escaped semicolon, invoking getPathInfo() in Tomcat results in a
truncated path info.

For example, one might have the request 

http://myhost/mywebapp/servlet/myservlet/pathcomp1/pathcomp2/foo%3Bbar?spaz=bot

The expected result of getPathInfo() is

/pathcomp1/pathcomp2/foo%3Bbar

The actual result in Tomcat is:

/pathcomp1/pathcomp2/foo

Note that the %3B is already converted into a ";" character in the results of
getRequestURI(), which is also quite incorrect.

Some comparative testing shows that Sun Java Web Server behaves in the same
incorrect fashion.  In the exception that proves the rule, WebSphere does this
correctly (one of the few things...)

Lets give the thread on the users list a chance to conclude before opening a
bug.

If the thread does conclude there is a bug, then feel free to re-open this.

Given the users thread has already shown this doesn't happen in the direct to
Tomcat case please include httpd version and mod_jk version (if used) and any
other relevant version information if you do re-open it.

Sorry to have jumped the gun on this.

As per the user's group thread, it would seem that this is an issue only with
Apache.

Is there any reasonable way I can tell whether this is an issue in
mod_proxy_ajp or rather in the Tomcat side of things?
