What steps will reproduce the problem? 1.Create a HTTP Request where the referrer field holds a URL with an
ampersand (&) for parameters. 2. 3. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? referrer field with amperstand should be legit.
Instead, ESAPI finds it as a double encoding hacking attach. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 1.4 on Unix Please provide any additional information below.

    Need to check if this is still the case in 2.0 - If so it can be resolved there and
    will vote on whether to release a patch to 1.4 to resolve the issue there.

    Additional information here would be helpful. Can you include a code sample that
    illustrates your issue?

    We already addresses this in the latest enhancements to cannonicalization. I'm dropping this unless someone brings this up again.

    Status: Fixed
