double encoding of URLs





------- Additional Comments From andy_apache@thehyatts.net  2002-09-25 16:36 -------
This is the least of the problems.  As I mentioned on the dev mailing list,
URI's should not be encoded at all, as far as I can tell.  Encoded URI's don't
even work with Jakarta Tomcat.  For example,
http://server/servlet?foo=bar&baz=schmoo would be escaped, and let's say the
servlet is a Jakarta one,  a call to req.getParameter("foo") would return
something like "foo=bar%26baz=schmoo", which of course is incorrect.  In my
sources, I've taken the encoding of the URI out completely, and things work as
normal.
