seems to be similar to bug 559146 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 559146 ***
Created attachment 256182 [details] [review] I don't think this is a duplicate... this problem is caused by the %2F (urlencoded /) in the path. I don't see why urlencoded slashes should be rejected since everything else handles them just fine. -- Allow '/' in URI paths Otherwise, a URI like http://example.org/test%2Fxyz is treated as invalid, when other programs handle it OK.
So it this case seem to be duplicate to the Bug 546256. There have been similar patches (e.g. Bug 581032), but they brakes other things... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 546256 ***
