Java error since upgrade to 5.2 and to Tomcat 7.0.70

We have a few forms that make a call thus from a jsp script prior to displaying the form:
form.callUrl ("http://<SERVERNAME>/GetUserNameRedirectUrl.aspx", parms,form.HTTP_PROTOCOL_GET);

This aspx file returns the users AD user name thus: DBC\nnewman

It appears that since the upgrade it does not like the "\" in the returned URL:
http://dbc-daap-18:3040/ufs/ufsreturn?e ... BC\nnewman

The error log shows:
Feb 24, 2017 11:15:10 AM org.apache.coyote.http11.AbstractHttp11Processor process
INFO: Error parsing HTTP request header

Backslash (\) is probably invalid in a URL, can you change it to a forward slash?

Thanks for the reply Jon,
I presume this is some kind of Tomcat security tightening with the latest version 7.0.75.
I will try and get the / replaced by another more suitable character for a URL and give it another test, however this aspx code was not written by me, so it may take a few days.
I will post the outcome here
