Provide alternative syntax for start.jar --download #5969

Open joakime opened 3 years ago

joakime commented 3 years ago

Jetty version 9.4.x

Description Currently, the --download=<arg> command line argument has a syntax in the <arg> with a pipe symbol |. This complicates usage on a command line as it's a special character interpreted by the shell.

Consider an alternative (optional) character that can be used in the <arg> section.

Unfortunately every alternative character to be used as a separator is interpreted by shells in a way or another, so | seems to be the best choice considering that we have to escape anyway.

: is not suitable (as we have basehome: or C: on Windows ! is interpreted by bash as a command of some sort > is redirection etc.
