---------------------------------------------
Summary: IniConfiguration.getSection() behaves inconsistently
regarding dot escaping
Key: CONFIGURATION-749
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-749
Project: Commons Configuration
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Expression engine
Affects Versions: 2.5
Reporter: Nicolai Ehemann
According to documentation, dots in Keys should be escaped by doubling them.
IniConfiguration.getSection() does not always recognise this correctly: When
the section already exists, it works as expected. When the section does not
exist, escaping is ignored, so
getSection("section.with.dots") will create a section called section.with.dots
(consequently, getSection("section..with..dots") creates a sectoin called
section..with..dots).
Additionally, the section return by the former call does behave strangely; it
will only accept one call to addProperty().
