Gary Gregory commented on HTTPCLIENT-1960:
------------------------------------------
[~michael-o] What is the alternative you propose? A new project? What else
would be in it? Eventually that project would grow and people would ask the
same question: I have pull in that project just to get the one class? Sure
there is also Apache Commons Net and Commons Lang, which could be a home for
such a class, but then what? Would you make HttoClient depend on one of those?
I would think that a new URI class might be handy to use within HttpCore and
HttpClient if the one provided by the JRE is so old.

> 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
> Assignee: Oleg Kalnichevski
> 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://myn...@host.dom/etc/motd{code}
> while it should be:
> {code:java}
> ftp://myn...@host.dom/%2Fetc/motd{code}
> Only when the path value is 'etc/motd' is should become
> "ftp://myn...@host.dom/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}
