title: Escaping slash in HTTP request
body: <p>I perform a http <strong>DELETE</strong> request from Javascript to a Java web app. The web app uses <strong>Jersey</strong> to dispatch urls. Tricky thing is, I'm using a path parameter that contains a forward-slash (e.g. <strong>"XX/6666"</strong>). When I run in <strong>Jetty</strong> (maven plugin) it works fine, but when I run on my production server (<strong>Tomcat</strong>) it does not, i.e. I get a <strong>404</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>The forward slash is escaped using %2F so my request URL looks something like</p>
  
  <p>DELETE <code>http://.../4776/shipmentOrders/XX%2F6666</code></p>
  
  <p>Is this allowed in the http specs, and is it possible Jetty and Tomcat interpret these differently?</p>
