Subject: Double decoding of URL

I am having a problem with Apache/mod_jk/Ajp13Connector/Tomcat.

If I make a request to a servlet with '%' in the path, the URL appears to be
being decoded twice.

I have a servlet mapping of escape -> escape.jsp.  That JSP contains the
following:

  <%= request.getPathInfo() %>
  <%= request.getRequestURL() %>

A request to http://localhost/escape/a%25sdf returns

  /a f
  http://sekhmet.datcon.co.uk/escape/a%sdf

And http://sekhmet/escape/a%21sdf gives

  /a!sdf
  http://sekhmet.datcon.co.uk/escape/a!sdf

Note that getRequestURL() returns the URL *without* decoding it, while
getPathInfo() does decode.  So it looks like the URL is already decoded
before it reaches Tomcat (by Apache or the connector).

I would expect the values of getPathInfo() to be '/a%sdf' and '/a!sdf', and
the values of getRequestURL to contain '%25' and '%21'.

Does anyone know what's going on?  The relevant bits of my configuration
files are below.

Thanks
Ben
