[Subclipse-users] SVNClientAdapter and URLs paths that contain square brackets ([ and ])

Message SVNClientAdapter Version: 1.6.12 (bundle version)
Client OS: Windows-7

Attempting to get the SVN log information, of a URL path that contains square brackets ([ and ]) fails with "malformed or the scheme or host or path is missing". Here is the piece of code that shows

SVNUrl currentURL = new SVNUrl("http://bpsvn/sandbox​/trunk/foo[bar].txt");
final ISVNClientAdapter svnClient = getSVNClient(currentURL, SVNRevision.HEAD);
svnClient.getLogMess​ages(currentURL, SVNRevision.HEAD, SVNRevision.HEAD, new SVNRevision.Number(0), false, true, 0);

The above code raises an exception with the following error message:

org.tigris.subversio​n.svnclientadapter.S​VNClientException: org.tigris.subversio​n.javahl.ClientExcep​tion: Bad URL passed to RA layer
svn: URL 'http://bpsvn/sandbox​/trunk/foo[bar].txt'​ is malformed or the scheme or host or path is missing


Similarly, the getInfo() method below also fails and raises an exception, with a different error message, for the same URL:

ISVNClientAdapter svnClient = getSVNClient(new SVNUrl("http://bpsvn/sandbox​/trunk/foo[bar].txt"),
                SVNRevision.HEAD);
 svnClient.getInfo(new SVNUrl("http://bpsvn/sandbox​/trunk/foo[bar].txt"));

This getInfo() method generates the following exception error message :

org.tigris.subversio​n.svnclientadapter.S​VNClientException: org.tigris.subversio​n.javahl.ClientExcep​tion: Bogus URL
svn: URL 'http://bpsvn/sandbox​/trunk/foo[bar].txt'​ is not properly URI-encoded
 
However, both of these methods, getInfo() and getLogMessages(), handle the following URLs successfully:

http://bpsvn/sandbox​/trunk/foo(bar).txt
http://bpsvn/sandbox​/trunk/foo{bar}.txt

There seems to be a limitation in what special characters SVNClientAdapter can handle in a path. Is this a correct assessment? Is there a description on what special characters one can use or should avoid in a path?

Thanks,
Al Habte
