Sling should url decode the request url before trying to resolve to a resource
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SLING-1870
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-1870
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Clemens Wyss
            Priority: Critical


e.g.:
JCR supports nodes with spaces (in its name), such as "Nice World". 
When accessing this node in Sling, the request url would  look something like
http://<sling host>/<path to node>/Nice%20World
unfortunately we then try to resolve /<path to node>/Nice%20World in the 
JcrResourceRersolver which, of course, does NOT match/resolve!

Hence somewhere before resolving the resource we should URLDecoder.decode the 
request URL ( request.getPathInfo() )

Possible solution:
SlingHttpServletRequest could provide
public String getResourceLookupPath()
{
   return URLDecoder.decode( request.getPathInfo(), "UTF-8" ) );
}

This method could be used in RequestData#initResource and possibly other 
places...
public Resource initResource(ResourceResolver resourceResolver) {
...
Resource resource = resourceResolver.resolve(request, 
request.getResourceLookupPath() );
...

Or is it up to the JcrResourceResolver to decode the URL it gets?
