Hi there, Vlad is right on the above.
Longer term we will work on replacing the use of square brackets with a URL safe character (there are not many left) and/or perhaps a POST-with-JSON-payload based solution. In the short term we will ensure all web API requests are encoded. As Vlad say, the best option short term is to use *r**elaxedQueryChars="[]"* at the Tomcat HTTP connector level. *Jasper:* Are you able to tell us in which apps and which requests had those unencoded requests? best, Lars On Tue, 30 Oct 2018 at 12:25, Vladimer Shioshvili <vshioshv...@gmail.com> wrote: > We faced the same issue, and I have brought it to Lars' attention, and he > is aware of the issue.
