           Summary: [VFS] Remote filenames with '?' causes local replication
                    problem on Windows
           Product: Commons
           Version: Nightly Builds
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Sandbox
        AssignedTo: commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jsc@alum.mit.edu

In attempting to use the ZIP filesystem to access a file from HTTP, it is common to encounter filenames 
that contain '?', such as zip:http://somehost.com/download.cgi?fileid=1234. '?' is an illegal character for 
filenames under Windows, so when the DefaultFileReplicator goes to create a local copy of this file, one 
gets a replication exception.

A simple workaround is to modify DefaultFileReplicator.createFileName() to filter out such characters or 
replace them with underscores.
