Tomcat version: 8.0.43 java: 1.8.0_05 Hello,
On some web browsers, clients are able to enter uri's with unescaped illegal characters (eg: "|" or pipe). This causes an IllegalArgumentException to be thrown and a 400 response code. This behavior is reported here: https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=60425 Is there anyway to encode the URI (maybe in a filter or something) so that this exception and response code is not returned, and then a normal 404 would be returned? I have tried placing the URIEncode attribute in the connector element of the server.xml file but I think this only effects how the URI is decoded. Thank you.
