--------------------------------
Summary: Wrong path decoding if path consists of '+'
Key: LOG4J2-466
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-466
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 2.0-beta9
Environment: Mac Pro
Reporter: Jan Tepke
Priority: Trivial
Hello,
I was trying to programmatically load a XML config file from the temporary data
directory of a MacOS X system. The temp path consists of serveral '+'
characters like MacOS automatically generates this path so we have to take it
this way. Even I would agree that it is not nice to have '+' chars in a path
name.
When I tried to load the XML config the framework permanently loaded the
DefaultConfig and not the desired XML configuration.
By stepping through the debugger I figured out that this was caused by the
method fileFromURI() in org.apache.logging.log4j.core.helpers.FileUtils.java .
The misbehaviour was basically caused by the call of URL.decode() which
converts '+' to ' ' (space) of a given String.
Now I self-compiled the whole framework without the call of URL.decode() and
the XML configuration loaded properly.
I can not see why this call is necessary in this method so in my opinion this
should be removed.
Kind regards
