Florin Slev created HTTPCORE-738: ------------------------------------ Summary: URIBuilder:: path with asterisk * is encoded differently compared to java.lang.URI 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
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 ? -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@hc.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@hc.apache.org
