------------------------------------------

             Summary: URIBuilder does not handle absolute path values
                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-1960
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1960
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HttpClient (async), HttpClient (classic)
    Affects Versions: 4.5.5
            Reporter: Raymond Cuenen


If original path startsWith '/' it is removed by normalizePath; in that case it 
should be added again URI-encoded. For example: A path value of '/etc/motd' 
becomes:
{code:java}
ftp://[email protected]/etc/motd{code}
while it should be:
{code:java}
ftp://[email protected]/%2Fetc/motd{code}
Only when the path value is 'etc/motd' is should become 
"ftp://[email protected]/etc/motd";
  

Fix for this issue in URIBuilder.java:
{noformat}
private String buildString() {
...
    if (this.encodedPath != null) {
        sb.append(normalizePath(this.encodedPath, sb.length() == 0));
    } else if (this.path != null) {
        String encodedPath = encodePath(normalizePath(this.path, sb.length() == 
0));
        // Start fix for paths starting with '/'
        // If original path startsWith '/' it is removed by normalizePath; in 
that case it should be added again URI-encoded.
        if (this.path.startsWith("/")) {
            encodedPath = "/%2F" + encodedPath.substring(1);
        }
        // End fix
        sb.append(encodedPath);
    }
...
}{noformat}
