-----------------------------------
Summary: Handling of semicolons in form action URLs
Key: WICKET-4816
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-4816
Project: Wicket
Issue Type: Bug
Components: wicket
Affects Versions: 1.5.8
Environment: Jetty 8.1.1.v20120215
Reporter: Arne Baganz
What I expect to happen when there is no semicolon support in Wicket is that a
URL in a form like below stays intact and will not be cut off at the position of
the first semicolon:
<form action="http://localhost:8080/dor/abc_1234:56;023:456_def_78;90.html";
method="post"><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></form>
In my application the part abc_1234:56;023:456_def_78;90.html is "named1" in the
mapping below:
mount(new MountedMapper("dor/#{named1}", TestPage.class, new
MyPageParametersEncoder()));
and parsed in MyPageParametersEncoder.
The officially intended use of semicolons in URLs seems to be specified in "RFC
1808 - Relative Uniform Resource Locators, 2.4.5."
(http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1808.html). But that´s not what I´m looking for.
If I had not some pages running on this syntax, I could easily swap the
semicolon with another symbol. Nevertheless and if I´m correctly informed, I
think those URLs should not be cut off.
(Quotation from the mailing list)
The quickstart can be tested with the following URLs:
http://localhost:8080/dor/abc_1234:56;023:456_def_78;90.html
http://localhost:8080/dor/abc_1234:56%3B023:456_def_78%3B90.html
http://localhost:8080/dor/?abc=1234:56%3B023:456&def=78%3B90
The crucial part is the action attribute in the form in the page´s source code,
which contains i.e. "./abc_1234:56?-1.IFormSubmitListener-form".
