> -----------------------------------
>
> Key: HTTPCLIENT-494
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-494
> Project: Jakarta HttpClient
> Type: Bug
> Components: HttpClient
> Versions: 2.0.2
> Environment: Operating System: other
> Platform: Other
> Reporter: Ted Dunning
> Assignee: Oleg Kalnichevski
> Fix For: 3.1 Alpha 1
> Attachments: invalidredirect.patch, patch.diff, test-36568.diff
>
> If a get is made to a page with a query argument containing a space, many web
> servers, notably including Tomcat 5 can generate a redirect in which the space
> in the query argument is not escaped correctly. Most browsers including IE
> and
> Firefox compensate for this by quoting any included spaces in the redirect
> location. Http client does not. When this broken URL is presented to a
> subsequent server, the GET command is interprted incorrectly resulting
> (usually)
> in a 505.
> The fix is to replace spaces in redirect locations with +'s. This doesn't
> entirely fix the problem but that is the job of the web server developers.
