Problem: double slashes in a request can cause the request not to resolve
Any request that contains a two (or more) consecutive slashes can result in a 404 error. For
example /hello//world/. The problem in this example is the "//" between
hello and world.
Solution: filter for double slashes
Apply a configuration to your Istio ingress to filter for double slashes in requests and
replace them.
Create a new configuration file named apigee-merge-slash-filter.yaml.
