Description

Using doubled slashes in a request produces the incorrect URL.

Example project:
https://github.com/kellen/hateoas-bug

To reproduce:

mvn tomcat7:run

http://localhost:8081/hateoas-bug/foo
Correctly gives: http://localhost:8081/hateoas-bug/

http://localhost:8081/hateoas-bug//foo
Incorrectly gives: http://localhost:8081/hateoas-bug/foo/
