That is a different kind of a bug. It is not due to SO rules, but to a
strange behaviour of the file:// urls in java: jdk decodes (even twice)
the "?" characters, and looks (as it should) for the file upto '?'. This
is solved in CVS, as the cache no longer passes URLs back and forth, but
streams.

I have plenty of files with '&' in my Jetspeed cache (in Linux, with no
problem). Also, '?' was not a problem under Linux, but it is under
Windows. The problem is not with shells, as these characters should
never be seen by a shell (anyway, you could escape them if you need to
erase or something). The problem is with the rules for file names, which
depends on OS and file system.
