Problem with URLDecode

           Summary: Problem with URLDecode
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.29
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: ms@docware.de


Hello,

There seems to be a problem with the URLDecoding of the pathInfo I can obtain 
with getPathInfo() of interface HttpServletRequest.

Example: be my URL :

http://localhost:8080/myapp/snoop/rel/%C3%9Cbersicht+PSS+Familie_V1.pdf

Be a servlet which handles this request mapped to "/snoop/*".
Then the pathInfo (not URLDecoded) would be: 

/rel/%C3%9Cbersicht+PSS+Familie_V1.pdf

But what Tomcat returns decoded with getPathInfo() is not correct. I cannot say 
exactly what ist wrong with the implementation of the URLDecode() method in 
class RequestUtils, but the error ist the same if I URLDecode the string 
returned by getRequestURI() with java.net.URLDecoder.decode(). Maybe this gives 
you an idea.

BTW, %C3%9C is the URLencoding of the UTF-8-encoded german U-Umlaut. 

Best Regards

Michael
