Incorrect decoding of URL for getPathInfo()

           Summary: Incorrect decoding of URL for getPathInfo()
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.18
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://bowmore.dcs.st-
                    andrews.ac.uk:8080/getpathbug/index.html
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Servlet & JSP API
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jrn@dcs.st-andrews.ac.uk


"+" characters in the path info of a servlet (returned by
HttpServletRequest.getPathInfo ()) are not handled correctly. They should be
decoded to a " " character, but instead are left undecoded. Using the supplied
URL as an example, the last two tests should return "test test", and
"test+test". Instead both return "test+test".

The result of this is that it is impossible to tell the difference between a URL
which includes a " " character, and a URL which includes a "+".
