I shall never say “an easy fix” again.

Anyway, the 400 Bad request response is made by the tomcat itself, disallowing the use of %2F as a path parameter. This will probably apply on other web containers.

Possible solutions with their disadvantages:

1. well-documented double-encoding of the URL (might be confusing)
2. use @QueryParam instead of @PathParam (breaks the api consistence, as every other call would still use @PathParam)
3. allow @QueryParam (again, breaks the api consistence, but only for the SimplePush)
4. find another encoding (Base64 for URL = URLEncode then Base64 encode)
5. don’t use the url as a deviceToken (might not comply with Mozzila’s SimplePush specs)

What do you think guys?
