Doug Donohoe commented on WICKET-1627:
--------------------------------------

As an example of the inconsistency:

When I have a normal form in my page [form = new Form(...)], the action gets 
output as follows:

    action="?wicket:interface=:1:form::IFormSubmitListener::"

When I make the change to [form = new StatelessForm(...)], changing nothing 
else, the action changes to:

    
action="search/-/-/0?wicket%3Ainterface=%3A1%3Aform%3A%3AIFormSubmitListener%3A%3A"

Aside from the "search/-/-/0" addition, which is expected due to the mount 
strategy I'm using, the query string is URL encoded.

> The use of URLEncoder.encode is incorrect in this scenario.  The URLEncoder 
> is meant for encoding query string values - not values that appear in the 
> path portion of a URI.
> Because the AbstractRequestTargetUrlCodingStrategy is used by other classes 
> to encode values that appear in the path, problems can occur when that path 
> has spaces.   For example, the parameter "message with spaces 
> and+some+pluses" is encoded as follows in a URL:
> http://localhost:8080/bugs/home/message/message+with+spaces+and%2Bsome%2Bpluses/
> However, the resulting request.getServletPath() call returns this:
> /home/message/message+with+spaces+and+some+plusses=bug/ 
> Note that the + in the path are not turned back into spaces.  This is the 
> correct behavior and is seen in both Tomcat and Jetty.
> See the RFC (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt) for a full description of 
> what should or should not be encoded.
