title: Receive an HTTP 400 error if %2F is part of the GET URL in JBOSS
body: <p>Whenever a URL that has <code>%2F</code> which is the hex code for <code>/</code> is posted to my JBOSS Server, I get an error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>HTTP 400 Bad Request error message. 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here is the URL:</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://localhost:8080/application/**abc%2Fhi**?msg=hello"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I remove the <code>%2F</code> from the URL the link works fine. </p>
  
  <p>This <code>%2F</code> has to be part of the URL and cannot be a request parameter.</p>
