+This is likely an url encoding/decoding problem with forward slashes. There are two possible workarounds for this issue. In `gitblit.properties` or `web.xml`:
1. try setting *web.mountParameters* to *false*.<br/>This changes the url scheme from mounted (*/commit/myrepo.git/abcdef*) to parameterized (*/commit/?r=myrepo.git&h=abcdef*).
2. try changing *web.forwardSlashCharacter* to an asterisk or a **!**
+Also, if you are running Gitblit behind a proxy, you must ensure that the proxy does not decode and then re-encode request urls with interpretation of *%2F*. If you are using Apache mod_proxy, specify [AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode](http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#allowencodedslashes).
