[Bug 59641] New: getRequestDispatcher encodes URI

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=59641

            Bug ID: 59641
           Summary: getRequestDispatcher encodes URI
           Product: Tomcat 8
           Version: 8.0.35
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Catalina
          Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
          Reporter: rz@rdprojekt.pl

In a Jersey REST application I have one of the resources located under
"api/sys:App/{id}" path. When I request this path (/api/sys:App/13) from a
browser Jersey matches the URL and this request is processed. However if the
request is forwarded inside the container (in my case I use urlrewrite) the
request is being forwarded to "/api/sys%3AApp/13" and that does not match the
Jersey path.

To forward the request urlrewrite gets the request dispatcher for this path 

dispatcher = request.getRequestDispatcher(toUrl)

and requestURI in the dispatcher is encoded (it wasn't until 8.0.35 release)
see Bug 59317

Hi,

OK, the web container does not decode the String, but should id force-encode
it? The colon character in the path part of an URL is not being encoded in the
original request, but it is encoded if I use the requestDispatcher to forward
the request. It looks inconsistent.

And the latter is expected and was fixed as a result of the bug that you
mentioned:

http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/api/javax/servlet/http/HttpServletRequest.html#getRequestURI--

"... The web container does not decode this String. ..."
