Originally reported on Google Code with ID 109

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1.
in gitblit.properties set
server.contextPath = 
to something different then "/"
e.g.:
server.contextPath = /gitblit

2.
create a grouped repository
e.g:
myproj/myrepo

3.
push some data to it

4.
try to display the summary of the repo by clicking on it
in the gitblit webinterface.


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect to view the history and branches etc.
instead i see an apache error page:

Not Found

The requested URL /gitblit/summary/myproj/myrepo.git was not found on this server.

Apache/2.2.16 (Debian) Server at marvin Port 443


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
gitblit 1.0.0
jdk 1.7.0.5
Debian GNU/Linux (squeeze)

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm using apache https and ajp

Everything works flawless with a ungrouped repository (group: main).

But the combination of server.contextPath and grouped repository results in this problem.

The problem is that Apache takes urls which should look like this:
http://localhost/gitblit/summary/myproj%2Fmyrepo.git

and "helps" us by re-encoding the url like this:
http://localhost/gitblit/summary/myproj/myrepo.git

This behavior breaks Wicket - the underlying web framework used by Gitblit.  I have
seen several Apache config options which indicate that they disable this behavior,
but I have not found any combination that actually works as described.

For now the solution is either:
1. Set web.mountParameters = false
2. Set web.forwardSlashCharacter = !

Hi James,

thnx for your response.
web.forwardSlashCharacter = !
works does the trick. 

Sorry that I missed that before on the FAQ.
