Java Reading Undecoded URL from Servlet

Question

Let\'s presume that I have string like \'=&?/;#+%\' to be a part of my URL, let\'s say like this:

example.com/servletPath/someOtherPath/myString/something.ht         


        

Answer 1

If there's a %2F in the decoded url, it means the encoded url contained %252F.

Since %2F is / Why not just split on "\/" and not worry about URL encoding?
