New issue 745 by [email protected]: guice servlet: HttpServletRequest.getPathInfo not decoded
http://code.google.com/p/google-guice/issues/detail?id=745

getPathInfo in the anonymous HttpServletRequestWrapper in ServletDefinition.doService does not perform URL decoding, but it is required to do so by the servlet spec.

The inputs, getRequestURI and getContextPath, are provided by the container and are (correctly) provided without decoding.

The HttpServletRequest docs for getPathInfo say "a String, decoded by the web container". Tomcat decodes it, and provides container-level configuration to control the character encoding used. See

http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/CharacterEncoding "How do I change how GET parameters are interpreted?"

I switched an existing application to use Guice to create my servlets and tests for character encoding failed as the raw string was returned from getPathInfo.
