--- Comment #3 from Remy Maucherat <r...@apache.org> 2011-09-21 14:21:13 UTC ---
The behavior has never changed, has always been consistent, and nowhere in the
specification does it say the path needs to exist. Unlike for getResource,
where the behavior for a non existent resource is clearly defined as being
different. So why is there any doubt about this ?

If you didn't realize this could be used to create a file in the filesystem,
then it would still be nice to not assume by default that the specification
must be stupid because a user says so. And that, even if there wasn't any good
reason at all, the change would *again* break plenty of existing applications.
