minor url bug

seanferns · #1 07-13-2012, 03:30 AM

when pasting urls contains bracket characters "{" and "}" they are converted to backlash "\" and makes the url invalid. The workaround is to manually type %7B and %7D.

Not sure where the URL came from, but I don't believe curly braces are valid in a URL, and they should have been encoded.

The URL is to tasks in MLO. See page 28 here: http://www.mylifeorganized.net/downl...7s%20Guide.pdf

I would expect UR to encode the URL as per the RFC.

I would expect MLO to encode the URL.

Touché. I have raised the issue with them. The thing is, in UR if I enter a link with a space/plus/equal sign in it, it does not get encoded to %20/%3D/%2BF unlike firefox/IE yet it changes { and } to \ so it looks like it is trying to do something to the URL but unsuccessfully.

I follow you now. I believe you're referring to the URL when inserting a hyperlink, not when importing a page. Yes, I am seeing that behavior and have flagged it for investigation.
