Connector interpretes parameter wrong

[Michael Osipov]

Fire PHP Connector with:

http://www.fckeditor.net/fckeditor/editor/filemanager/connectors/php/connector.php?Command=GetFolders&Type=Image&CurrentFolder=\

Response should be an error because the CurrentFolder does not start with a /

The actual response is:

<Connector command="GetFolders" resourceType="Image">
<CurrentFolder path="/\/" url="/_userfiles/image/\/"/>
<Folders/>
</Connector>

Current behaviour of connectors is different to that described in Server Side Integration. If trailing or leading slash is missing, it is appended / prepended to the folder name to make a valid path from it.

Shouldn't this be corrected in documentation?

[Michael Osipov]

I'd correct the PHP implementation. requiring a pre and appended slash makes sense for correctness' sake. Other implementations may suffer too.

I'd not recommend a folder containing a backslash in its name. It is sanitized when creating a folder.

[Wiktor Walc]

All connectors use the same algorithm (different than described in documentation), so let's stick to it in 2.6.

Backslash in folder name is sanitized because it is not allowed in Windows, however it is a valid folder name in linux. So if someone already have a folder with such name, we should allow him to use it.
