[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
