[logback-dev] [JIRA] Commented: (LBCORE-119) ReconfigureOnChangeFilter doesn't pick up changes if there are spaces in the filename

Anders Wallgren commented on LBCORE-119:
----------------------------------------

* configure logback to use a file with spaces in the path name, for example, "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\foo\logback.xml" and set the "scan" attribute to true so it will look for changes to that file.
* ReconfigureOnChangeFilter gets the URL and converts it to a File.
* The filename will be C:\Documents%20Settings\All%20Users\Application%20Data\foo\logback.xml because the URL encoded the spaces in the filename.
* File doesn't support encoded filenames, so it doesn't think that filename exists, so file.lastModified always return 0 as the time stamp and changes to the file are never detected

The code needs to call URLDecoder.decode on the filename before creating the File object

> ReconfigureOnChangeFilter.start doesn't unencode the URL encoding of spaces, so it will never detect changes since the url-encoded filename doesn't exist.
