Hello,

Using http://tomcat/manager-app/text/reload?path=/

When I reload an application (in java), I get a reply

OK - Reloaded application at context path [/]

but when the application is not present I get this reply:

FAIL - No context exists named [/]

Is it intentional that the fail shows the ascii code rather than the slash like on the OK?

Yes.

If the provided context exists then we know that the name is HTML safe since all valid context names are HTML safe. In this case there is no escaping.

If the context does not exist then the provided content name may not be HTML safe (it could be a deliberate XSS attempt) hence it is escaped.
