[jira] Commented: (VFS-325) Bad handling of hashs (#) in file names when walking a file tree using findFiles()

["Joerg Schaible (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-325?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12970766#action_12970766 ] 

Joerg Schaible commented on VFS-325:
------------------------------------

Sorry, this solution is wrong. A hash '#' has a special meaning in a URL. If a filename contains such a character, the URL must contain it in the encoded form "%23".

> Consider a local directory tree containing files with hashs in their name, such as {{test-hash-#.txt}}.
> When walking the tree using FileObject.findFiles(), the file is correctly found and returned, but it's URL is truncated to the #: {{test-hash-}}
> * Calling file.getURL().toString() returns {{file://my/dir/test-hash-}}
> * Calling file.toString() returns the correct URL {{file://my/dir/test-hash-#.txt}}
> * For the sake of testing, calling new URL("http://my/file/with/hash-#.txt").toString() returns {{http://my/file/with/hash-#.txt}} (It's not an java.net.URL problem)
> I think file.getURL().toString() should return {{test-hash-#.txt}}, otherwise caller have to rely on file.toString() to retrieve the URL of the file, which is probably bad.
