Hi,
I have a problem with Slide 2.1 M1 where I can create and delete a folder
called "$$" using the slide dav client but then can't put or cd into it. I
can even create subfolders under the $$ folder with the command line client
- just not cd or put into it. I can also access my $$ folder and its
subfolders from a web browser as the urls have been escaped correctly by the
slide server. The problem occurs because of a comparison made between the
escaped URL and the href element returned in the response body of a PROPFIND
method that's made while setting the new path in the WebdavResource with the
setPath() method. The href returned by the server is the URL path with an
escaped (and I would think correct) version of the string "$$" eg.
"/slide/files/%24%24" -- whereas the call to the HttpUrl.getEscapedPath()
made in setWebdavProperties() returns a path with "/slide/files/$$" in it.
I tracked the problem back to where the target URI is first encoded by the
HttpClient.URI.setPath() method which doesn't escape the $ characters
because $ is considered one of the legal chars for the 'allowed_abs_path'
character set. Is this a bug in the HttpClient.URI implementation?
Shouldn't the "$" and ":" character be escaped like the (space) character
is?
Thanks,
Warwick
