(Get the code!)
I would like to ask for the ^ character. I'm not sure how to make a case for this. Its kind of important for us because we have been using this to denote financial indexes (similar to yahoo finance) and we have a large number of client installs that would all have to change to enforce uri encoding.
This is basically holding up our migration to Tomcat.
I think it would be preferable if we could select whatever characters we want to override. Its our site and we are the ones responsible for the security and functionality. Every entity that uses Tomcat might need different characters for different reasons. It would be easier to transition if they had access to an override. Clearly the default should be to override nothing but some sites are going to need this or that character to transition.
I could ask to have our clients url encode everything but realistically that could take years to complete.
I would prefer that this exemption be extended rather that having to hack the code base on our own as security updates would be more timely.
