I have a zip file (let’s say ‘inside.zip’) inside another zip file (let’s say ‘outside.zip’). I am using Apache’s common-vfs2 Java library and providing a uri like zip:file:///path/to/outside.zip to open the zip file. However, it cannot open the zip file that exists inside outside.zip e.g. it says its a file not a folder and cannot find any children in zip:file:///path/to/outside.zip!/inside.zip. What’s the best way to use the library (I am looking for the right uri) so I can open the zip file inside another zip file?

    After spending a day, figuring this out, this is the correct URI:
    zip:zip:/path/to/outer.zip!/inner.zip!/

    All of the following fails surprisingly:

    • zip:zip:/path/to/outer.zip!/inner.zip
    • zip:zip:/path/to/outer.zip!/inner.zip!
    • zip:/path/to/outer.zip!/inner.zip!/

    Is there an RFC or a standard grammer for this that I can lookup to avoid nasty bugs like these?
