You must ensure that the proxy does not decode and then re-encode request urls with interpretation of forward-slashes (*%2F*).

You have a few options on how to handle this scenario:
1. [Tweak Tomcat](http://tomcat.apache.org/security-6.html#Fixed_in_Apache_Tomcat_6.0.10)

2. *web.mountParameters = false* and use non-pretty, parameterized urls
3. *web.forwardSlashCharacter = !* which tells Gitblit to use **!** instead of **/**

+#### UTF-8 Filenames

+Tomcat also dislikes urls with non-ASCII characters. If your repositories have non-ASCII filenames you will have to modify your connector properties to allow UTF-8 encoded urls.

+As of 0.9.0, Gitblit supports Lucene-based searching.

+If Lucene indexing is disabled, Gitblit falls back to brute-force commit-traversal search. Commit-traversal search supports case-insensitive searching of *commit message* (default), *author*, and *committer*.<br/>
To search by *author* or *committer* use the following syntax in the search box:
