Won't serve files that have percent in the file name.

           Summary: Won't serve files that have percent in the file name.
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.3 Final
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Connector:Coyote HTTP/1.1
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: j.r.maber@leeds.ac.uk


It seems reasonable to assume that it should be possible to publish files in a
web server that have the percentage symbol in the file name.  This was possible
in the previous version of Tomcat.

Test scenario:

1) Create directory;
{Catalina}/webapps/ROOT/test/
2) Create text file in the directory called 100%.txt
3) Access the URL;
http://localhost/test/
A valid file listing page is displayed with the correct URL encoded link to the
test file;
/test/100%25.txt
4) Click on the link 
A 400 error code is returned to the browser and the following is logged;
2002-05-09 13:26:19 HttpProcessor[80][4]  Invalid request URI: '/test/100%25.txt'
