Raymond Cuenen commented on HTTPCLIENT-1960:
--------------------------------------------
Ah ok.
I cannot find anything other then dot-removal for path normalization in RFC
3986, however the javadoc of the {{java.net.URI}} normalize method says:
{noformat}
A normal path string has no empty segments, no segments equal to ".", and no
segments equal to ".."
{noformat}
In that case the normalization of the {{URIBuilder}} is incomplete, because
only the first empty segments are removed; {{"//etc//motd"}} becomes
{{"/etc//motd"}}, while with {{URI.normalize()}}; {{"//etc//motd"}} becomes
{{"/etc/motd"}}.
Apart from that, I would not expect an URI builder / parser to perform implicit
normalization since it is optional. Your suggestion to make normalization
explicit would be an improvement.

> 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
> Priority: Major
>
> 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}
