#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: -------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- MacPorts base does not percent-encode the distname before putting it in the final URL. This causes distnames containing spaces to be completely unavailable (causes a Tcl error), causes distnames containing a percent character to probably not download at all (probably not a common need), and causes distnames containing a plus character to work sometimes but not others, at the whim of the web server (since a plus should really be encoded as %2b the web server is completely within its right to not know what we're asking for). I first noted this in [comment:ticket:18733:3 #18733] in response to r47662. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18736> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
