-------------------------------------------------------------

[~tn] is there a tracker for the next major version (e.g. 2.X) of commons fileload that I can raise this issue in perhaps ?

> I understand that FileItem is simply following RFC 1867, but the implementation of 'getName' 
> method on a file related class IMHO should follow the behaviour of the java File class which
> bq. Returns the name of the file or directory denoted by this abstract pathname. This is just the last name in the pathname's name sequence. If the pathname's name sequence is empty, then the empty string is returned. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/io/File.html#getName()
> I propose that FileItem.getName() is changed to *match* the java File class behaviour and that another method called something like 'getRawName' be added to the FileItem class. The rational for this change is to make it less easy to shoot oneself in the foot (in no modern web application is a 'full filepath' useful, especially when most browsers do not send one!).
