Re: unknown entity blah - '' problem
And $Server-URL() ??? If it is a small patch or one line fix (for the two) then just those - I am trying to run a live server with as few 'upgrades' as possible :) Peter - Original Message - From: Josh Chamas [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Thanos Chatziathanassiou [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Peter Galbavy [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2003 9:27 AM Subject: Re: unknown entity blah - '' problem Thanos Chatziathanassiou wrote: Peter Galbavy wrote: Using the w3c validator, I get 'unknown entity' error for URL generated using $Server-URL(). -- Line 8, column 75: cannot generate system identifier for general entity session-id ... href=/css/style.css?category=miscsession-id=0aa89fea729d35f3cee8cb6389 27a -- Actually, you're supposed to say ``amp;'' instead of plain ``''.

Re: unknown entity blah - '' problem
$Server-URL may or may not be used in generating URLs for use in HTML, so will not get this patch. The problem is specific to rendering in HTML, not with in URLs. If you want to escape in $Server-URL generated URLs, you might try $Server-HTMLEncode($Server-URL($url, \%params)); Good point.

unknown entity blah - '' problem
Using the w3c validator, I get 'unknown entity' error for URL generated using $Server-URL(). -- Line 8, column 75: cannot generate system identifier for general entity session-id ... href=/css/style.css?category=miscsession-id=0aa89fea729d35f3cee8cb638927a -- comment at: http://validator.w3.org/docs/errors.html#bad-entity :- -- A reference to a URI that uses as a separator between parameters, such as http://example.org/prog?x=1y=2. To solve this problem, simply replace all the 's in attribute values with amp; (user agents will convert them back before following the links.) Another way to get around this problem is for the author of the CGI program to allow a different value to be used between arguments, like ';' or '|', which would allow the link to be coded as e.g. a href=http://example.org/prog?x=1;y=2; -- I didn't know this was ever a problem, but in light of this, is their anyway to change the query string seperator or set it to (optional) 'amp;' ? I find this bizarre, as I have been using plain '' forever, but I would have thought that W3C know what they are talking about.

Re: unknown entity blah - '' problem
Actually, you're supposed to say ``amp;'' instead of plain ``''. See also RFC 1738. You can, however, also use ``;'' as a QueryString delimeter. That's cool - now how do we politely ask Apache::ASP to use ';' instead of '' internally ? :-) Peter - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I was hasty in my answer before, so I sent the message before I read this problem was created by SessionQueryParse.
