<p><code>mapping=encoded</code> prevents the %-decoding of the <var>uri-path</var> so

<p><code>mapping=servlet</code> refers to the normalization defined by the Servlet
specification, which is for instance applied by Apache Tomcat for servlet containers
(notably the path parameters are ignored for the mapping). An <var>uri-path</var> like
- <code>/some;foo/path</code> is then mapped as <code>/some/path</code> hence matches:</p>
- <p><code> &lt;Location /some/path&gt;</code> or:</p>
- <p><code> ProxyPass "/some/path" "https://tomcat.example.com/some/path"</code></p>
- <p>regardless of the requested path parameters.</p>

- <p>It is recommended to use the same mapping on the Apache httpd side than the one

- <code>&lt;Location&gt;</code> blocks for paths that are mapped by <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code>
- to some servlet containers (like applications running on Apache Tomcat), one should
