ValueServer switching from URL to File is badly broken

           Summary: ValueServer switching from URL to File is badly broken
           Product: Commons
           Version: 1.0 Alpha
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Math
        AssignedTo: commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: william.barker@wilshire.com


On a Windows machine, where there are spaces in the install path, URL.getFile 
returns something like:
  /C:/Jakarta%20Development/commons-math/target/test-
classes/org/apache/commons/math/random/testData.txt

ValueServer then tries to construct a File out of this, which is of course an 
invalid path.  

IMHO it would be better to base the class on InputStream (instead of File), 
since in an app-server the concept of File isn't really defined.  Otherwise, it 
should be based on a URL, and use the openStream method to read the resource.
