[jira] [Commented] (EXEC-94) CommandLine unconditionally trims arguments

["Aleksandr Dubinsky (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EXEC-94?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14973178#comment-14973178 ] 

Aleksandr Dubinsky commented on EXEC-94:
----------------------------------------

The behavior of `addArgument` has other issues. If I want to pass an argument that contains quotes, I can successfully pass " on Linux but need to use \" on Windows. This is true whether I am passing this value via `addArgument(arg, false)` or as a substitution. I forget what code is responsible for this. It might be the JDK, in fact. But Commons Exec needs to compensate.

> The CommandLine private Argument class unconditionally trims argument values. This is wrong; it should be possible to pass arguments as-is to the executor.
> Fixing this unilaterally might break some code, so it is probably necessary to introduce a new method, for example:
> addRawArgument(String)
> This should save the exact argument without trimming and without quoting.
