Bruno P. Kinoshita commented on IO-483:
---------------------------------------
Looks like FilenameUtils#getPrefixLength is finding the colon character in the
second position, and then it gets the previous character (around line 660 and
666 r1727892) and checks the following:
{code}
ch0 = Character.toUpperCase(ch0);
if (ch0 >= 'A' && ch0 <= 'Z') {
if (len == 2 || isSeparator(filename.charAt(2)) == false) {
return 2;
}
return 3;
}
return NOT_FOUND;
{code}
The ch0 >= 'A' && ch0 <= 'Z' is evaluated to false, since ch0 is '/'.
Maybe this issue could be fixed by updating the Javadoc to state that one of
the valid prefixes is a case insensitive character, from a to z, followed by a
colon?
