If you install a custom cache handler and implement the ResponseCache get and put method, you will find out the uri that got passed into the get and put method is decoded, if the original url contains encoded character (e.g %3a).

e.g if you open a url connection:

http://javaweb.sfbay/~ngthomas/getput/%3aimage/draw.jpg

it will becomes:

http://javaweb.sfbay/~ngthomas/getput/:image/draw.jpg

when it get passed into ResponseCache.get and put

testcase:
