Oleg - yes, it is indeed invalid according to RFC 3986 (but not 7230 which may
merit a bug report: https://github.com/httpwg/http-core/issues/195).
What I don't understand is why this is argument for breaking something that is
indeed valid?

> Encoded forward slashes are not preserved when rewriting URI

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-1968

> Reporter: Jay Modi
> Priority: Major

> URIs that contain an encoded forward slash (%2F) are no longer preserved when
> the HTTP client executes. I came across this when upgrading from 4.5.2 to
> 4.5.7 and my requests that contained an encoded forward slash suddenly
> started failing. The appears to be due to decoding and re-encoding of the
> path that takes place in the URIUtils#rewriteURI method. I've attached a
> patch that restores the old behavior but if a URI contains two slashes in a
> row in addition to an encoded slash the encoded forward slash will be decoded.
