Rainer, Thanks a lot for the response.
I see similar results as yours in mod_jk.log. So it seems mod_jk is doing the right thing and passing %25 unescaped. The error is on the application side while reading the query param. Here is the snippet: 2008-05-04 10:00:47,684 ERROR [orb.servlet.api] tracker doPost(): Exception=java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URLDecoder: Illegal hex characters in escape (%) pattern - For input string: "zz" :URLDecoder: Illegal hex characters in escape (%) pattern - For input string: "zz" Here is the request: http://www.foo.com/bar?a=param_with_%25zz (I put "zz" at the end to make sure that it wasn't something due to being the last char.) What is throwing me off is that the request works fine on port 8080. All I am doing is calling request.getParameter(). I am not sure if it changes anything but I am using Jboss and not Tomcat.
