[jcifs] Davenport Issue Report: Square non printable characters

[Eric Glass]

Is this seen in the WebDAV view, HTML view, or both?  If you can grab
a packet capture of the HTTP/WebDAV traffic between the client and the
webserver, that would likely be the easiest to troubleshoot (as that
would indicate whether the app is sending something strange or if it
is a client interpretation issue).  If it's occurring in the HTML
view, if you could save one of the pages and forward it for review
that might help too (the servlet basically generates the PROPFIND
result and uses XSLT to transform it to HTML, so that may be where the
issue is in this case).

Finally, if you can give some environment specs (servlet
engine/version, platform, whether hitting app server directly or going
through Apache/IIS etc.) that may give some insight also.
