What about turning the doc id into a query param instead of a path param? Unfortunately it would break existing urls, but it would be a solid solution imo.

After investigation, path/name only with whitespaces works fine. But if it contains forward slash `/`, even after we encode it to `%2F`, it doesn't work.

This is due to jboss/apache restriction for security. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4069002/receive-an-http-400-error-if-2f-is-part-of-the-get-url-in-jboss
