The `jdk.nio.zipfs.ZipFileSystem#iteratorOf(...)` (where this change has been done) is currently only used by `jdk.nio.zipfs.ZipDirectoryStream#iterator()` and has package-private visibility, so this change shouldn't impact any other usage/expectations.

Hi Jaikiran,

Consider:


        try (var os = Files.newOutputStream(ZIPFILE);
             ZipOutputStream zos = new ZipOutputStream(os)) {
            zos.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry("../Hello.txt"));
            zos.write("Hello World".getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
        }


With your proposed fix, you will only return "/" when you walk the the Zip file and we should also return "/Hello.txt"

If. you resolve the path when the Inode entry is created:

           ` name(new ZipPath(null, normalize(name), true).getResolvedPath());`

That should address the issue and also allow you to access the entry.
