626	The wapi ought to cope with slashes	kpreid	warner	"From NEWS: ""Slashes are discouraged in Tahoe file/directory names, since they cause problems when accessing the filesystem through the wapi""

I haven't looked in the implementation, but this shouldn't be a problem. In URLs, a path component can contain a slash; it just needs to be encoded:
http://example.org/conjunctions/either%2for

If this doesn't automatically work already, I suspect that the wapi may have %-encoding issues (not encoding/decoding at the right times, or at all).

(I do not argue against (or for) discouraging slashes; merely that a URL-based system should be able to deal with them IF they occur.)"	defect	closed	minor	undecided	code-frontend-web	1.3.0	invalid	/, slashes, URL encoding, wapi	kpreid
