Hi all!

I'm new to the group and looking for a little help.  I'm using
*org.jclouds:jclouds-allblobstore
v1.5.5* and running into a parse exception using the SwiftClient when
object names contain a '%' symbol.
For example an object whose name is 'AND_-_100%_TVX/test.txt' will get
stored fine, but when I attempt to list the contents of the container that
the object is in I get the following exception:

Sep 10, 2013 10:26:40 AM org.jclouds.logging.jdk.JDKLogger logError

Here is an example of a simple method that generates the exception:

private PageSet<ObjectInfo> listObjects(String containerName,
                                        String prefix,
                                        int maxResults,
                                        String marker) {
    ListContainerOptions containerOptions =
ListContainerOptions.Builder.maxResults(maxResults);
    if(marker != null) containerOptions.afterMarker(marker);
    if(prefix != null) containerOptions.withPrefix(prefix);
    return swiftClient.listObjects(containerName, containerOptions);
}

Calling this method with the container name of the container containing the
object whose name contains a '%' symbol and a maxResults of 1000 and null
for both prefix and marker will result in the above exception.
Let's just say my container name is "percent-container" and I have an
object in this container with the name "AND_-_100%_TVX/test.txt"

So this is what the method call to the above method might look like:
listObjects("percent-container", null, 1000, null);

Even if I URL encode the object name before storing it I still get the same
exception when retrieving a list of contents for the space.
I can run a cURL command straight to the Swift storage provider to get the
object and it returns fine.
Am I doing anything wrong?  Do I need to handle '%' symbols in a special
way?  The docs swift docs don't express any character restrictions on
object names:

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks,
Erik
