Re: [jetty-users] jetty is auto-decoding urls

[Joakim Erdfelt <joakim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's pretty standard behavior with most servers.

Some servers (Apache httpd) even reject requests with "%2f" in the url.

%2f is pretty much always decoded before being processed.

Options:

• Send it double encoded "%252f" - kinda hacky
  
• Send it as a html entity - "&#47;"
• Don't specify your Rest API with @PathVariable, that expects the "%2f" (that wont work).  Use a normal request with information from request.pathInfo instead.

eg: If you had setup something like ...

@RequestMapping(value = "/community/{term}/search", method = RequestMethod.GET)

switch to

@RequestMapping(value = "/community/search/*", method = RequestMethod.GET)

and use the request.pathInfo instead.

Hi ,

I am using jetty in my web app. I have a rest api with url param. If the consumer of my app sends encoded value(/ to %2f) of url param, the request doesn’t reach to the endpoint.

Can someone help?
