[Htmlunit-user] Problem with uri format -- IllegalArgumentException

[Sue Yi <su...@gm...>]

Hello,

I am using HtmlUnit to test an application which contains redirects.
In the application there is a redirect to "'/a/b/..\BIN\c.ASP" (URI
changed for privacy) -- I get a IllegalArgumentException "escaped
absolute path not valid".

Is this because all URI's needed to be absolute, or is it because
there are both "\" and "/" in the URI?

Can anyone suggest how I could solve this problem?

Thank you,
Sue

Re: [Htmlunit-user] Problem with uri format -- IllegalArgumentException

[Marc G. <mgu...@ya...>]

As far as I know is "\" not legal in an URI.

What does your browser do (Firefox for instance, because IE...): does it change the received "\" to "/"?

Is it in a redirect or as src of a frame, what suggests your stack trace?

Ya, I noticed IE replaces "/" with "\" ... and the tested application
only needs to run on IE, so these uri's must be worked with.

I think it is as src of an IFrame .. the page being loaded has several IFra=
mes.

Do you think it is possible to solve this without building HtmlUnit
source with added code to convert "\" to "/"?

Thanks,
Sue

"/" with "\"? Sure? Not "\" with "/"?
Does your "'/a/b/..\BIN\c.ASP" gets the same thinks as "'/a/b/../BIN/c.ASP"?

a complete fix would need to build htmlunit to be integrate. Nevertheless I guess that you can write your own 
WebConnection wrapping the default one and rewriting the urls containing "\".

Hi Marc,

Thanks, that was an awesome suggestion! I'm now using a custom
HtmlWebConnection which wraps HtmlWebConnection. And then
setWebConnection on the WebClient to use it -- there are no more
problems with illegal URI's.

> "/" with "\"? Sure? Not "\" with "/"?
You were right =3D)
