Static Tomcat Site on Ubuntu - unable to reach files/directory with white space in url?
I am migrating a legacy image hosting server from Windows with weblogic to Ubuntu with tomcat. the server provides images directly from the file system with URLs mapping to the physical.
I have copied across the directory and image files to the Linux server, but some directories include a white space, for example:
"/images/store1/2018/2018 new/image.jpg"
Tomcat serves the images fine when no space is present in the URL but even when spaces are escaped with + or %20, a 404 error is returned.
Is this something that a Linux server will not support? or should I look at my web server software configuration for this issue?

there is no middle layer (code) for serving the images. it is a direct mapping to the file system of the static website hosting on tomcat.

Okay, then I guess the behaviour would be governed by one of Tomcat's internal classes. Can you share the server configuration you're using to serve these files? In addition, any reasons not to use a web server like httpd or nginx?
