PROPFIND on URL containing "%25"

PROPFIND on URL containing “%25” (an escaped % character) seems to hang the server.

Hello Julian,

thanks for the report. Our server expects the URL encoded as utf-8 (by default).
Do you think it is a good idea to let the client send a header containing the url (and header) encoding schema? We will have a look why the server s hanging.

Best regards

Juergen

Expecting UTF-8 encoding is correct, so this isn’t an issue. Note that “%25” indeed is a correctly URL-escaped UTF-8 encoded string, representing the “%” character (which needs to be escaped in URLs for obvious reasons).
