Description

See; https://caddyserver.com/docs/json/apps/http/servers/routes/match/path/

Paragraph 5:

Even though wildcards () operate in the normalized space, the special escaped wildcard (%), which is not a valid escape sequence, may be used in place of a span that should NOT be decoded; that is, /bands/%* will match /bands/AC%2fDC whereas /bands/* will not.

is duplicated in paragraph 6 with some modification:

Even though path matching is done in normalized space, the special wildcard %* may be used in place of a span that should NOT be decoded; that is, /bands/%/ will match /bands/AC%2fDC/ whereas /bands// will not.
