Discard invalid characters from directory name generated for staging site
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MSITE-303
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSITE-303
Project: Maven 2.x Site Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.0-beta-6
Reporter: Benjamin Bentmann
Priority: Trivial
Attachments: filter-invalid-chars.patch
{{site-stage}} takes the distribution URL and builds a filesystem path from it.
This can potentially lead to invalid paths since URLs may contain characters
that are not valid for directory names.
It's mostly a theoretical issue since good URLs don't include bad characters.
The only exploit I can offer is to set the distribution URL to something like
{{file://G:/Sites/}} on a Windows box which then will cause an invalid file
name like
{{G:\Sites\stage\localhost\G:\Sites\multi-module-project\index.html}}. I
experienced this during some local quick&dirty testing.
