James M Snell commented on ABDERA-150: -------------------------------------- The Sanitizer is not, and was never, intended to provide percent-encoding. The point of the sanitizer is to take an input string and make it reasonably suitable for use as a segment of a URL. The goal is to produce more user friendly URLs and "foo_bar" is more friendly than "foo%20bar". If you need "foo%20bar" then use the EncodingUtil class or the java.net.URLEncoder to produce a properly percent-encoded string. > EncodingUtil.sanitize() behavior has changed > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: ABDERA-150 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ABDERA-150 > Project: Abdera > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.4.0 > Reporter: Todd Wells > > In the 3.0 client, EncodingUtil.sanitize() would escape a space in a String > correctly -- with "%20". Now it replaces it with an underbar ("_"). > Sanitizer.sanitize() does the same thing. So existing code that depended on > this method is now broken. > For example when using Abdera with Mule Galaxy, it has a default URL that > includes a space for it's atom feeds "Default Workspace", so the Abdera > sanitizer couldn't be used reliably since it would make this > "Default_Workspace". And looking at the code, sanitize only allows to to > specify a particular slug to replace all undesired characters with -- so > blindly saying replace with "%20" means that all undesired characters would > be replaced with that, rather than with the proper HTML encoding. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
