> Key: HTTPCORE-738
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-738
> Project: HttpComponents HttpCore
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpCore
> Affects Versions: 5.2.1
> Reporter: Florin Slev
> Priority: Major
>
> It seems Apache URIBuilder encodes URL asterisk characters as %2A.
> While java.lang.URI doesn't:
>
> {code:java}
> final URI uri = new URI("http", null, "localhost", 80, "/books*", null,
> null);
> final URIBuilder uribuilder = new
> URIBuilder().setScheme("http").setHost("localhost").setPort(80).setPath("/books*");
> final URI result = uribuilder.build();
> assertEquals(uri, result);
> {code}
> =>
> {code}
> expected: <http://localhost:80/books*> but was: <http://localhost:80/books%2A>
> {code}
> According to www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1738.txt
> {code}
> Reserved:
> Usually a URL has the same interpretation when an octet is
> represented by a character and when it encoded. However, this is not
> true for reserved characters: encoding a character reserved for a
> particular scheme may change the semantics of a URL.
> Thus, only alphanumerics, the special characters "$-_.+!*'(),", and
> reserved characters used for their reserved purposes may be used
> unencoded within a URL.
> {code}
> Is the asterisk encoding intended inside Apache URIBuilder ?
