I understand the rationale now, but what about the scenario that `java.io.tmpdir` is set to a user-specific location in an otherwise protected area? I still think there should be a difference in scrutiny applied between writing to a destination that is already world-writable by design and explicitly making the destination world-writable. How about passing the username through `URLEncoder#encode` instead of removing special characters? That is guaranteed to create a directory name that is collision-free and valid on all file systems. It also handles the issue immediately at the code location where it arises rather than working around it somewhere else in a manner that is not particularly easy to grasp. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
