REST client interface URI encoding problem with spaces
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: ACE-160
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACE-160
Project: Ace
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.8.0
Reporter: Bram de Kruijff
RESTClientServlet uses URLEncoder.encode(..) on resource identifiers. This is
ok most of the time, but breaks a client when there is a space in the
association filter used used as part the identifier. Eg. Features and
distributions use the name attribute in the association filter, so when one
creates a feature with a space in the name "My Feature" the filter be something
like (&(name=My Feature)).
The problem...
URLEncoder.encode(...) encodes into application/x-www-form-urlencoded which is
ok for a querystring, not for a URI.
What happens...
1. URLEncoder.encode(..) will translated "My Feature" into "My+Feature"
2. When a client (eg perl) uir_decodes this the result will still be
"My+Feature"
3. Using this as identifier in for example an association will fail.
My workaround...
