Testing some legacy code on 6.7 I have encountered an issue. It seems that if there are escaped character at the end of the URL a 404 error is returned on 6.7 however works on previous versions. For the test environment both vCenter and ESXi are both 6.7, or both are 6.5 no mixed environments.
On 6.5 the datastore is named SSDDemo (2)
https://vcenter65.xxxxxx.com:443/folder/Preparation%20-%20test%2065/prepare-identity-flat.vmdk?dcPat...
This works as expected and the file can be uploaded.
On 6.7 the datastore is named datastore1 (2)
https://vcenter67.xxxxxxx.com:443/folder/Preparation%20-%20cwxtest424b/prepare-identity.vmdk?dcPath=...
On this the server returns a 404 error.
The code that uses the URL is the standard WedReqeust using PUT as shown below
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(httpUrl);
request.CookieContainer = GetCookieContainer(connectionDetails, sessionManagerReference, connectionTimeout);
request.ContentLength = fileLength;
request.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";
request.Method = "PUT";
Any insights as to what could be happening on 6.7 would be greatly appreciated.
