Bug ID: 56501
Summary: problems with urlencoding in webapp name
Product: Tomcat 7
Version: unspecified
Hardware: PC
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: apacheiss...@sourceway.eu
we have a webapp with a filter, that generates an index.html file if the app is
called on its root directory or with index.html as path.
there is one edge case where this filter is ignored and tomcat trys to open an
actual index.html (which does not exist).
this happens when the webapp contains a underscore (_) in its name and the app
is opened with %5F encoding instead of the underscore and a leading /.
we found this issue while migrating our apps from tomcat 6 to tomcat 7(.0.52).
the manager app links the webapps with "/test%5Fapp/" (tomcat 6 used
"/test%5Fapp" without the leading /) on tomcat 6 clicking the link the webapp
opened as expected. on tomcat 7 we get 404 or if we place a real index.html it
is shown.
on tomcat 8 the real index.html is accessed too, haven't checked how the
manager links to the app.
eg
WepApp name: test_app
http://tomcat/test_app - Filter
http://tomcat/test_app/ - Filter
http://tomcat/test%5Fapp - Filter
http://tomcat/test%5Fapp/ - index.html (404)
http://tomcat/test_app/index.html - Filter
http://tomcat/test%5Fapp/index.html - Filter
with name: testapp
http://tomcat/testapp - Filter
http://tomcat/testapp/ - Filter
http://tomcat/testapp/index.html - Filter
