> When I make a request to an URI like {{{}/solr/my_core/query?q=%C0{}}}, I get 
> a HTTP 500 status code with a stack trace originating at
> {{org.apache.solr.common.SolrException: URLDecoder: Invalid character 
> encoding detected after position 2 of query string / form data (while parsing 
> as UTF-8)}}
> {{at 
> org.apache.solr.servlet.SolrRequestParsers.decodeChars(SolrRequestParsers.java:421)}}
> {{…}}
> The obvious reason is that the {{q}} parameter value looks like the first 
> byte in a multibyte utf-8 sequence, but that sequence is incomplete/invalid. 
> I have seen a few more instances of this in our monitoring, also with 
> different places where the problem surfaces.
> Instead of the HTTP 500 status code, something like e. g. HTTP 400 (Bad 
> Request) would be more appropriate. It would also make processing in 
> downstream systems (that have to deal with Solr’s response) much easier if 
> this class of errors could be recognized.
> Also, if I look at the place where the exception is being thrown 
> ([https://github.com/apache/solr/blob/releases/lucene-solr/7.7.3/solr/core/src/java/org/apache/solr/servlet/SolrRequestParsers.java#L419-L422]),
>  care was taken to use the `ErrorCode.BAD_REQUEST` status. This information, 
> however, seems to be lost along the way.
