Tomcat 8 is not able to handle get request with '|' in query parameters?
<p>I am using Tomcat 8. In one case I need to handle external request coming from external source where the request has a parameters where it is separated by <code>|</code>.</p>

<p>Request is looks like this:</p>

<p><code>http://localhost:8080/app/handleResponse?msg=name|id|</code></p>

<p>In this case I am getting following error.</p>

<pre><code>java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid character found in the request target. The valid characters are defined in RFC 7230 and RFC 3986

<p><strong>EDIT 1</strong></p>

<p>It works with Apache Tomcat 8.0.30 but not with Tomcat 8.5</p>
