#18736: distname is not percent-encoded before gluing it into the URL -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts 1.8.0 Component: base | Version: 1.7.0 Keywords: | Port: -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- Changes (by snc@…): * cc: snc@… (added) Comment: Replying to [comment:3 ryandesign@…]:
That would be fine with me, except if it does what the docs say: "All input characters that are not a-z, A-Z or 0-9 are converted to their 'URL escaped' version" -- if that's what it really does then that's broken just like tcl < 8.4.12 was broken: it needs to convert all characters that are not a-z, A-Z, 0-9, -, ., _ or ~.
We can probably summarize that as "Returns a string in which all non- alphanumeric characters except -_. have been replaced with a percent (%) sign followed by two hex digits." (from [http://php.net/url_encode PHP]). -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18736#comment:11> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
