garydgregory commented on issue #71: VFS-444: corrected ResourceFileProvider 
uri/path processing.
URL: https://github.com/apache/commons-vfs/pull/71#issuecomment-525732517
 
 
   My main concern here is that we do not want to unnecessarily break behavior 
compatibility. 
   
   There are two issues:
   
   If code that used to throw an exception now does not, it could negatively 
affect applications in cases like "if looking for resource1 blows up, then look 
look for resource2", you could see an application might then behave differently.
   
   The case where something used to work and now throws an exception is 
obviously an issue.
   
   The real question of course is what kind of bug are we fixing here? Is this 
something that is truly and completely broken? Are there any reasonable 
expectations for someone to have actually coded applications with paths that 
now work but then would be broken with this patch? 
   
   I'd like to get more feedback from the community.
