Merge pull request #679 from kushala2012/B-55702-URI-Normalization

Reviewed the change.  This covers our testing needs for uri-normalization
Merge pull request #681 from kushala2012/B-54962

Added content transaltion burst tests - validated that this test will not impact stable code.  This will need to move over under a "bug" category once we start categorizing our spock tests.

versioning cleanup
