            Bug ID: 59891
           Summary: Manager deployment selection munges WAR file name
           Product: Tomcat 8
           Version: 8.5.4
          Hardware: PC
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Manager
          Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
          Reporter: s05ma...@blm.gov

I downloaded Tomcat 8.5.4 from the Apache Tomcat webite as a zip file for
Windows 64 bit. I configured the tomcat-users.xml file  to allow access to the
manager. Tomcat starts up and I can get to the manager page. I selected a WAR
file to deploy. The full path to the WAR file displays with backslashes in the
path, as is typical of a Windows installation. I click on "Deploy". 

Tomcat strips out the backslashes and tries to load the WAR file with no
directory separators in the path. In the applications list it displays this
munged name as if it were the application. It fails to load the WAR file
because it can not find the file. Tomcat 6 and 7 do not have this problem. I
have not tried this on a Unix system.
Note that I can manually copy the WAR file to the webapps directory and then it
will auto-deploy correctly. The problem is that the manager module munges the
WAR file path and thus fails to find the file.
