I have a servlet that needs to write out files that have a user-configurable name. I am trying to use URI encoding to properly escape special characters, but the JRE appears to automatically convert encoded forward slashes %2F into path separators.
Example:
File dir = new File("C:\Documents and Setting\username\temp");
String fn = "Top 1/2.pdf";
URI uri = new URI( dir.toURI().toASCIIString() + URLEncoder.encoder( fn, "ASCII" ).toString() );
File out = new File( uri );
System.out.println( dir.toURI().toASCIIString() );
System.out.println( URLEncoder.encode( fn, "ASCII" ).toString() );
System.out.println( uri.toASCIIString() );
System.out.println( output.toURI().toASCIIString() );
The output is:
file:/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/username/temp/
Top+1%2F2.pdf
file:/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/username/temp/Top+1%2F2.pdf
file:/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/username/temp/Top+1/2.pdf
After the new File object is instantiated, the %2F sequence is automatically converted to a forward slash and I end up with an incorrect path. Does anybody know the proper way to approach this issue?
The core of the problem seems to be that
uri.equals( new File(uri).toURI() ) == FALSE
when there is a %2F in the URI.
I'm planning to just use the URLEncoded string verbatim rather than trying to use the File(uri) constructor.

The new File(URI) constructs the file based on the path as obtained by URI#getPath() instead of -what you expected- URI#getRawPath(). This look like a feature "by design".
You have 2 options:
Run URLEncoder#encode() on fn twice (note: encode(), not encoder()).
