I did some more investigation and my app would not display the image with the ; http://www.myapp.co.uk/images/image_32x32.png;jsessionid=52FC7E289A9BDAB18ABBBE7D1C5CC85A 26-Apr-2018 15:16:43.356 SEVERE [ajp-nio-8009-exec-2] org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke Servlet.service() for servlet [default] in context with path [] threw exception org.springframework.security.web.firewall.RequestRejectedException: The request was rejected because the URL contained a potentially malicious String ";" at org.springframework.security.web.firewall.StrictHttpFirewall.rejectedBlacklistedUrls(StrictHttpFirewall.java:265) at org.springframework.security.web.firewall.StrictHttpFirewall.getFirewalledRequest(StrictHttpFirewall.java:245) Something in spring security blocking the ; in the URL. I will go back to 8.5.x to see if I still get the ;jsession on the URL's, my thinking is probably always did have the jsessionid but they were not blocked by spring security.
