I have discovered our Tomcat 9.0.113 installation is not converting double slashes in the middle of URLs to a single slash and therefore is returning 404 errors.  This is a COTS product so I cannot fix the application to send single slashes.

Any suggestions as to what to look for that might be preventing this?  From what I can tell this is supposed to be the default behavior, but I assume one of the various setting changes I made to harden our installation has disabled the slash conversion.  I have tried removing all the hardening settings but still not luck.

Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
