FileURLConnection's use of URLDecoder causes it to break with file URLs with '+' symbols in the path
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBCOMMON-103
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBCOMMON-103
             Project: JBoss Common
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
    Affects Versions:  2.2.17.GA
            Reporter: Matt Drees
            Assignee: Dimitris Andreadis


FileURLConnection uses URLDecoder.decode() as part of its process for turning URL paths into filesystem paths.  However, this causes paths with '+' symbols to be incorrectly decoded; the '+' symbols are turned into spaces. (This is most relevant on mac os x, where the temp directory often contains plus symbols).

This bug is basically identical to JBVFS-129, and I believe the fix is the same (use File's constructor taking a URI argument).  

I'll attach a patch with a testcase and a patch with a potential fix.
