[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EXLBR-15?page=history ] Shash Chatterjee closed EXLBR-15: ---------------------------------
Will be released with version 2.1 > In org.apache.excalibur.source.impl.FTPSource, URL.getXYZ() results must be > URL-decoded > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: EXLBR-15 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EXLBR-15 > Project: Excalibur Components > Type: Bug > Components: SourceResolver > Versions: 1.1.1 > Environment: Windows XP, Unix, J2SE 1.4.2 > Reporter: Nico Verwer > Assignee: Shash Chatterjee > Attachments: FTPSource.java > > The getXYZ() methods in java.net.URL give results which are URL-encoded, if > the URL was constructed from a String (which must be URL-encoded). This may > be considered a bug in java.net.URL, but it is the way it is. > In order to get the right URL-components (path, userinfo, etc.), the method > java.net.URLDecoder.decode() must be applied to the result of > java.net.URL.getXYZ(). The result of getUserInfo must first be split (on ':') > before decoding is applied. > Example of how this affects functionality of FTPSource: > URLs for FTP may contain a password: > ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path > If the password contains the '@' character, like > ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@host/path > this will be interpreted as user 'user' with password 'p' and host '[EMAIL > PROTECTED]', which is wrong. In order to allow reserved characters in URL's, > URL-encoding is used (see RFC 1738 for this particular case, and others). For > instance, '@' would be encoded by '%40' in the string-representation of the > URL. > Because URL-components are not decoded in FTPSource, it is impossible to use > a password containing '@', or other parts of the URL that contain reserved > characters. > This problem is easy to fix using URLDecoder. > I'll see if I can attach the code for this fix. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - If you want more information on JIRA, or have a bug to report see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
