404 response to URLs with trailing decimal

Hello,

I find that Tomcat 8 will not serve up static content with a trailing decimal in
the URL.  A response code of 404 is served up, not the static content.

My configuration is a symbolic link in the webapps/ directory. e.g.

         <Context path="/externalData" docBase="externalData">
            <Resources>
               allowLinking="true"
            </Resources>
         </Context>

A sample request URL that fails is:
         http://localhost:8080/externalData/trailingDot.

I have tried to URL encode the period in the request, but the problem still
exists.
Is this a bug in Tomcat?  If so, should I send in a bug request?
Below are the instance specifics.

Thank you.

Assuming the file /externalData/trailingDot. exists then yes, that looks like a bug.
