Description

I have defined a URL resolver that includes, among others, the artifact pattern <artifact pattern="http://repo1:8081/artifactory/ext-repackaged-local/[organization]/[module]/[revision]/[type]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" /> as well as an ivy pattern. The ivy file resolves properly, but it includes a published artifact with the defintion <artifact name="en\PresentationUI" type="xml" ext="xml" extra:os="windows" conf="default"/>. This ivy file has been in our artifact repository for a long time and cannot be changed.

My issue occurs when ivy tries to retrieve this particular artifact. It uses the URL http://repo1:8081/artifactory/ext-repackaged-local/com/Microsoft/ReferenceAssemblies/3.0.6920.5001/xml/en\PresentationUI-3.0.6920.5001.xml which does not resolve due to the backslash between en and PresentationUI.

I propose that ivy should fix URLs like this by replacing \ with /. I already have a fix ready to go which I'll use in my situation, but I would like this change to be accepted in the project.
