URLs of resources from application archives contain spaces

           Summary: URLs of resources from application archives contain
                    spaces
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.4 Final
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: borismotik@yahoo.com


If Tomcat is installed in a directory with spaces, then the following code 
breaks because application class loader will put spaces in the resource URL:

URL url=Test.class.getResource("res/resource.gif");
String useURI=url.toString();
URI uri=new URI(useURI);

For example, if installed under c:\temp\s p a c e s\catalina, Tomcat will 
generate following URL:

jar:file:C:/Temp/s p a c e r/catalina/webapps/kaonportal/WEB-
INF/lib/apionrdf.jar!/test/res/resource.gif

The same code when executed from Java alone in the same directory will give 
following URL:

jar:file:/C:/Temp/s%20p%20a%20c%20e%20r/test.jar!/test/res/resource.gif

In the latter case the spaces are correctly escaped with %20, whereas in the 
case of running under Tomcat, the spaces are present in the URL, which is 
incorrect according to the URL standard. The URL class doesn't check this, but 
the URI class does, and the code breaks.
