Bug? URL encoding issues with redirect:write via Ant

[David Balch <da...@continuing-education.oxford.ac.uk>]

Hi,

I'm having problems getting an XSLT using the redirect:write extension in
Xalan to work correctly with Ant, and don't know whether it is a bug in Ant,
or a bug in Xalan trigered by Ant.

There's a thread discussing it (mostly the same as this post) on ant-users:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.jakarta.ant.user/21644/. I also posted
this mail to xalan-users, but recieved no responses.


Summary:
Using the Ant <xslt> task when the path has spaces in it will cause output
from the redirect:write extension to be written to a URL encoded version of
the path.

The testcase below works fine from command line, but not Ant.

Expected results: "test.txt" and "test2.txt" in:
"C:\Documents and Settings\BalchD\My Documents\working-copy".

Actual results (Ant):
"test.txt" in:  "C:\Documents and Settings\BalchD\My
Documents\working-copy";
"test2.txt" in:
"C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\BalchD\My%20Documents\working-copy".

Actual results (Command line): "test.txt" and "test2.txt" in: 
"C:\Documents and Settings\BalchD\My Documents\working-copy";

So, where do I file the bug?
