[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-317) Shapefile URLs with spaces or quotes

Shapefile URLs with spaces or quotes
------------------------------------

         Key: GEOS-317
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-317
     Project: GeoServer
        Type: Bug
  Components: Configuration
    Versions: 1.3.0-beta
Environment: all
    Reporter: dblasby
Assigned to: dblasby
     Fix For: 1.3-rc1

Adding a shapefile with a URL with a space in it could be a problem. I tried to use:
file:c:\"Documents and Settings"\...

But this will cause your .xml file to be invalid!!!

It possible that just typing in a space will be okay, but
1) we should add some documentation to the page to explain what to do
   (ie. they could possibily want to move the file to the GEOSERVER_HOME dir)
2) we should give a few "for examples", including what to do for directories with
   spaces in them and how we want the "file:" portion to look like
