[TIP]
If reverse proxy is used in front of Tomcat then see the configuration
instructions for encoding slashes link:config-reverseproxy.html. Otherwise
Tomcat must be configured to encode slashes, by adding
-Dorg.apache.tomcat.util.buf.UDecoder.ALLOW_ENCODED_SLASH=true to
CATALINA_OPTS environment variable. Excerpt from the documentation
https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/config/systemprops.html:
----
Property org.apache.tomcat.util.buf.UDecoder.ALLOW_ENCODED_SLASH:
If this is true '%2F' and '%5C' will be permitted as path delimiters.
If not specified, the default value of false will be used.
