      Show
      response.sendRedirect( "http: //test.com/foobar?test={abc}" );

      After upgrading to EAP 7.2, redirects to absolute URLs are broken if containing special characters (such as #, {, }). This did not occur with EAP 6 or EAP 7.1 and earlier. But with 7.2, a redirect call like this:

         response.sendRedirect("http://test.com/foobar?test={abc}");

      A bad redirect location is returned like so:

      Location: http://localhost:8080/app/http:/test.com/foobar?test={abc}
