After installing mod_jk to test my server under a productions system, I
found
that if the URI contains a %2f in the URL path, mod_jk2, or possibly
Apache,
ignores the URI mapping to the Web Application Server (Tomcat 4.1.30)
Note: I am using the latest source release of mod_jk2, Apache 2.0.50 and
Tomcat 4.1.30.
So say if you have the following mapping in your workers2.properties.
[uri:/myapp/web/*]
and you use the full URL
http://myhost.com/myapp/web/cmd/slash-%2f-slash/
the URI mapping will be completely ignored. I think if you take any working
URL mapping and insert or append the characters %2f, the mapping will
fail and you will get a 404 error from Apache, not Tomcat where you would
expect it.
Now I hesitate and think it may be an Apache bug because if the 2f shows up
as part of the value for a parameter, the URI mapping will succeed. i.e.
http://myhost.com/myapp/web/cmd/slash/?p1=slash-%2f-slash
Works just fine, its only when the %2f shows up up in the path section
of the URI.
Also when I test my servlet under the standalone (port 8080) listener,
the system
works just fine and the 2f in the URL path works just fine.
