You didn't really read the part of the page I referred to and instead decided to read the CVE. The page I sent you will tell you about System properties that make the behaviour configurable.

Thanks,

so if I got it right - due to some security reasons:

"Directory traversal vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server and Tomcat 5.x before 5.5.22 and 6.x before 6.0.10, when using certain proxy modules (mod_proxy, mod_rewrite, mod_jk), allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) sequence with combinations of (1) "/" (slash), (2) "\" (backslash), and (3) URL-encoded backslash (%5C) characters in the URL, which are valid separators in Tomcat but not in Apache."

... I cannot use sequence of .. (dot dot), /, \ and %5C

Yes, but, it is strange since I do have neither (dot dot) nor %5C nor \ [we cannot ban / completely, right?], Tomcat seems to be reacting strange on %2F, which have to be URLEncoded, since this is a URI I am passing to an internal procedure, if this URI is not URL encoded - than my regexp defined REST services endpoints will freak out and consider only all they will see till / as a parameter.

As I said before - it seems that Tomcat is sensitive to a %2F in my URI, which is not on the list above.

http://localhost:8080/jeromedl/mbb/filter/marcont:hasDomain/http%3A%2F%2Fdmoz.org%2FTop

Can you, please, explain what is wrong with this URI? I got a feeling that although the CVE-2007-0450 might be important, it has been implemented in wrong way?

Thanks,

Sebastian

Hello,
just a quick question. Why URI like the following:
http://localhost:8080/jeromedl/mbb/filter/marcont:hasDomain/http%3A%2F%2Fdmoz.org%2FTop result in error 400 - incorrect URI - noSlash error in Tomcat 6.0.13,
but were correctly handled in Tomcat 5.5 ?
After investigating a little I have noticed that the problem is in %2F sequence (URI encoding of /). Is there any HTTP specification detail that I have missed or is it, as I think it is, a bug in Tomcat 6?
Thanks for any hints,
Cheers,
Sebastian
