Description

with our PHP client using the jackrabbit remoting, we found a very strange bug. when we try to query for a node with ISCHILDNODE and a name that has -, . or %, followed by a number and then followed by e or E, we get an error 400 response. I tried the same with a simple java client to see if we do something wrong on our side, but the result is the same.

so what does not work are names like `-2e`, `.3e` or `%0E`

the problem does not happen if the character before <NUMBER>e is something else, and it does not happen with other letters than "e". it happens with all numbers however.
