Hi, I was trying to read RFCs 3986 and 2396 to understand some subtleties about URI encoding.
In particular I am interested about whether semicolon (;) needs to be percent escaped as, e.g. http://site/some;path VS http://site/some%3Bpath when outputting e.g. HTML href element. Just for interest, here's what I get in both Tomcat 6.0.26.0 and 7.0.12.0: href URI ((HttpServletRequest) request).getServletPath() http://site/foo /foo http://site/test1;test2 /test1 http://site/test1%3Btest2 /test1;test2 http://site/test1)test2/ /test1)test2/ According to RFC 3986, both semicolon and closing bracket ')' belongs to sub-delims class but one needs escaping and another doesn't. Is this expected behaviour? I have asked this question on StackOverflow, and the answerer guessed that Tomcat is following older RFC 2396. Can anyone clarify?
