I'm afraid it is... Both RI and Harmony does not parse these symbols in the URL class. Both of them passed the following test case: public class URLTest extends{ public void test_pathname() throws Exception { URL url1 = new URL("file:/home/../home/1.txt"); assertEquals("/home/../home/1.txt", url1.getFile()); URL url2 = new URL("file:/home/1.txt"); assertEquals("/home/1.txt", url2.getFile()); assertFalse(url1.equals(url2)); } } Thus, perhaps it is a good choice to add a method such as PolicyUtils.normalizeURL(String url). Any comments?
Can URI <file:///C:/Doc/java/1.5/docs/api/java/net/URI.html>.*normalize*() functionality be used for this case? Thanks, Stepan Mishura Intel Enterprise Solutions Software Division
