http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39503 Summary: getContextPath() returns a decoded string contrary to the servlet spec Product: Tomcat 5 Version: 5.5.17 Platform: PC OS/Version: Windows XP Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Servlet & JSP API AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is similar to Bug 39278 but with respect to the request.getContextPath() method. The Servlet spec section for request methods, 15.1.3.2, says, "...The container does not decode this string." However, if you use a space in the context name and deploy to Tomcat, a call to getContextPath() does not return an encoded string with '%20' for the space character. Instead, the string includes the space character. A simple JSP can be used to reproduce the issue. Also, I noticed another similar issue with getRequestURI() on a forwarded request. If you have a servlet or JSP that forwards to another servlet/JSP (via request.getRequestDispatcher().forward()) in the web app that has a space in the context path, the forward request behaves differently. The call to getRequestURI() will return an encoded string from the original request but returns a decoded URI in the forwarded request. The value in request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.forward.request_uri") will still contain the encoded '%20' but getRequestURI() returns a string containing a space. Would you like me to open a different bug for this issue with respect to forwarding to track separately? -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
