         <p><code>mapping=encoded</code> prevents the %-decoding of the <var>uri-path</var> so
-        that one can match for instance <code>/some%2furi%2fpath%2fwith%2fslash</code> in a

         <p><code>mapping=servlet</code> refers to the normalization defined by the Servlet
         specification, which is for instance applied by Apache Tomcat for servlet containers
         (notably the path parameters are ignored for the mapping). An <var>uri-path</var> like
-        <code>/some;foo/path</code> is then mapped as <code>/some/path</code> hence matches:</p>
-        <p><code>  &lt;Location /some/path&gt;</code> or:</p>
-        <p><code>  ProxyPass "/some/path" "https://tomcat.example.com/some/path"</code></p>

-        <p>It is recommended to use the same mapping on the Apache httpd side than the one

-        to some servlet containers (like applications running on Apache Tomcat), one should
