> Using URLDecoder.decode on locations is wrong
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FELIX-2195
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-2195
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Framework
> Affects Versions: felix-2.0.4
> Reporter: David Jencks
> Assignee: Karl Pauls
> Attachments: FELIX-2195.diff

>
> URLDecoder is supposed to be for decoding form goo stuffed into a url, not
> for decoding the path component of a url. Using it for this produces wrong
> results. In partucular, mac os x likes to make temporary files with strings
> like "+++++++" in the path. When run through URLDecoder these turn into
> spaces which means felix can't find the file you just gave it a valid file
> system location for. Since equinox does this correctly we can't use felix in
> geronimo until this is fixed.
> IIUC URLDecoder is used as an attempt to maintain compatibility with ancient
> vms that lack URI and its correct decoding behavior. Fortunately apache
> harmony implements URI so the attached patch borrows the implementation from
> harmony to provide correct behavior on antique vms.
